The prestigious wine magazine VINUM has bestowed a special honor in its June 2025 issue: Diego Mathier was inducted into the select club of winemaking legends.

- Marchese Piero Antinori from the winery of the same name – which is run by the 26th generation and is one of the most famous family empires in Italy – dhe not only launched the Supertuscans, but also contributed to the birth of the Bolgheri wine-growing region
- Pablo Álvarez from the Spanish winery Vega Sicilia from the Ribera del Duero, whose 1917 and 1918 vintages have already achieved world fame and established the reputation as a Spanish Grand Cru “par excellence”
