The prestigious sommelier Pedro Martínez Fernández, considered one of the best sommeliers in Spain, winner of the 2001 Golden Nose Trophy, will be at the 11th edition of FENAVIN this year with his own stand to present his most personal project. 'De Nariz' is the brand under which it markets a super limited edition of three wines with which it pays homage to the Monastrell grape, made in three different wine plots: Jumilla, Yecla and Noroeste in the region of Murcia. Some wines with which Martínez expresses the best of the area from which he comes, allowing both connoisseurs and any wine lover to enjoy something unique and special.
Although the most important thing is the wine, above all, its packaging has received important recognition, both nationally and internationally, such as the Double Gold for the best design in the world in 2021 in the latest edition of the Pentawards: a Gold in the Dieline Industry Email List Awards or a Bronze at the Laus Awards. The bottle label is the protagonist with the three-dimensional golden nose, made of an exclusive alloy, a reproduction of Pedro Martínez's own nose.
The sommelier, born in in Cohegín (Murcia), has participated in conferences, talks, guided tastings and seminars in the last five editions of FENAVIN, but this is the first time he has attended as an exhibitor and the first fair in which he presents the third vintage of its De Nariz wine, with the best packaging in the world. “I wanted FENAVIN to be the first fair in which to present my project, for me there are three great fairs in the world and one is FENAVIN and I wanted it to be my first letter of introduction and I was clear about it from minute one, this fair is very important as a showcase for projects already consolidated or to be consolidated, because one of its main values is the number of professional visitors and international importers who come to it, it is its main asset,” emphasizes the sommelier.
His wisdom is not only limited to the world of wines, but also to hospitality in general. Forged from hard preparation, Pedro Martínez Fernández has managed to reach the top in his work. “I have experienced the world of wine from all perspectives, I have worked for large restaurants, I have trained in viticulture and enology and in commercial matters, and I approach my personal project with this maturity that experience gives me,” he explains.
'De Nariz' is a conceptual project with which he wanted to bet on the Monastrell grape, the fifth or sixth variety in the world. “Years ago there were 120,000 hectares and now there are about hectares around the world in four production areas and it is in the Mediterranean basin where there are very large plots of Monastrell that we have to value or they will end up disappearing,” he adds. His objective, therefore, with De Nariz, is “to enclose in the bottle that soil, that climatic year and the expression of that grape variety.”
After having tasted more than wines around the world last year, he assures that someone like him is “a student for life and a connoisseur for life” and highlights that to be a Golden Nose, in addition to feeling “a true passion for wine", it is necessary to have a "good olfactory and gustatory memory, knowledge and a great comparative framework that is achieved by training a lot. You have to taste and taste.” Pedro Martínez's wines can be tasted from at FENAVIN.
