30 years of professional experience
The Person Behind
After 30 years in the wine industry, I’m still fascinated by this extraordinary natural product – the startling variety, its origins, grape variation, types of terroir, vintages – who makes it, and how all these factors affect taste and quality.
What greatly appeals to me about wine is that it combines sensual pleasure with my curiosity for food, history and culture. I love to talk about wine and share my experience with wine lovers at every level. Through the years, I have built a large network of quality producers dedicated to their land, their heritage, and with a strong passion for the product. I have developed an in-depth knowledge of market structures and conditions across EU countries and I closely follow the wine business on the path towards sustainable agriculture and greener solutions for the industry.
I hold the Italian Sommelier Diploma (A.I.S) and WSET level 2 diploma and occasionally conduct wine tastings.
