Skin Contact
It’s harvest time and summer is gone leaving the pace to autumn. No, I’m not excited about autumn arriving at all with its cold temperatures and the following winter, but about harvest… yes I am! It reminds me a lot of when I was a child and grandpa used to harvest his vines of “uvaContinue reading “Skin Contact”
Choices: my time for reds!
There comes a time in everyone’s life when you need to make choices. Regardless of how important they are or what they are about, they always take you out of your comfort zone. Sometimes we indulge in situations – even when we don’t like them too much – just because we’re too afraid (or lazy,Continue reading “Choices: my time for reds!”
Grow baby, grow!
July has arrived and these long, warm, sunny days are a real energy boost: summer has always been my favourite season among all, even when temperatures rise up to sticky 40°. I love the feeling of the burning sand under your feet and the salty aftertaste of the sea when you go swim, or walkingContinue reading “Grow baby, grow!”
Red sparkling life
It’s being quite a hectic month this June, both workwise and personally. In the long working days I’m spending travelling around I get to meet so many people, new and known. I’m going to places that mean something to my personal life for many reasons and, even though I’m there for work, this gets meContinue reading “Red sparkling life”
Thank you for the patience!
I find it curious how one of the things I like the most, wine, requires such a huge amount of patience: a quality that isn’t one of my strong points, I must admit. I mean: i am the one who is made fun of in the office because at times I can be polemical orContinue reading “Thank you for the patience!”
Blending people
Sunday morning: finally some well deserved relax! Woke up late, had a nice, smooth, long breakfast and then what I love the most: a good book – about wine, for a change! And I can’t help thinking of my last trip, of the amazing group I was with: amazing professionals, but amazing human beings asContinue reading “Blending people “

I’m on one of my wine trips on these days. In this occasions, for entire days I’m surrounded by top sommeliers from all over the world and wine journalists or bloggers: can you imagine what our conversations sound like?

Vintage magic
The Mille Miglia is a world-famous memorial car race that takes place in Italy every year, from 1927, with only a few years in which it didn’t run. Cars drive through an open-road circuit from Brescia to Rome and back, for total of more or less 1600km, 1000 Roman Miles – and that is whereContinue reading “Vintage magic “
Mom in a glass
Sunday it was “mother’s day” here and, just like every year, we spent it together and, just like every year, she was moved almost to tears when I arrived at her place with a flower bouquet for her. And, I mean: isn’t it just like the bare minimum?? I’m not a mother and I believeContinue reading “Mom in a glass”
