Have you had that thought for quite some time that you would like to learn more about wine, especially Italian wine, but feel a bit intimidated about the lingo and the wine snobbery? Do you have this idea that you want to get to know ‘the other’ Italy, i.e. the world of smaller and lesser-known wine areas and producers?
You have come to the right place! I am here to help guide you through Italian wine in an unpretentious and laid back manner.
Wine With Me
By now, I know many secret spots around Italy when it comes to wine, especially artisanal wineries and lesser-known areas and grapes. I can be your personal guide on an adventurous journey through Italian wine, be it virtually or in-person (well, in-person only post-Covid).
As a sommelier and wine writer, I have taught Italian wine history at Lorenzo de’ Medici American University in Florence, guest lectured about Italian wine, the importance of wine marketing, and social media at Lorenzo de’ Medici and Umbra Institute in Perugia, held seminars about Italian wine areas (Fisar, etc.), about wine terminology (AITI), as well as about digital marketing for translators (AITI), etc.
Do you want to learn more about Italian wine with me? I can:
- Advise you about wine areas/wineries to visit
- Advise you about which wines to buy
- Help plan your Italian wine tour
- Be your personal wine guide in Tuscany or other Italian region
- Do virtual tastings/webinars/seminars about Italian wine
