At 35 years old, we can say that former Real Madrid player Eden Hazard is taking full advantage of his retirement and seems ready to take on some pretty crazy new challenges. Next month, the Belgian will join the prestigious circle of “Wine of Champions” in Puglia. The invitation was extended to him by Fabio Cordella, entrepreneur and sports director who notably worked for the Union Saint-Gilloise. The former Premier League attacking leader is thus integrating a unique wine project, within the family business founded in 1911, renamed Fabio Cordella Cantine, which extends over approximately 350 hectares of vines.

According to several Italian media, but also SudinfoHazard will also have its own vintage, made from grape varieties grown by the company, including Negroamaro, Primitivo, Malvoisie, Susumaniello and Nero d’Avola. This tradition remains original, but seems to be more and more famous in recent years. Indeed, he joins a long list of footballers who have created their own wine, such as Ronaldinho, Wesley Sneijder, Marco Materazzi, Roberto Carlos, John Terry and Walter Zenga. Its bottle, impatiently awaited by connoisseurs, should be presented at the beginning of February in Italy.
