We want to hear from you!

I was born and raised in what I like to call the "cradle of the Mediterranean": Sicily. 

Amid the ashes of Mount Etna, the wild beauty of the landscape, and a deep appreciation for a lifestyle that is both authentic and luxurious, I discovered my passion for wine. I was only fifteen, caught up in the warmth of a Sicilian summer evening, surrounded by laughter and shared moments, when I first fell in love with the enchanting world of wine.

For me, this complex and sophisticated world, yet strongly anchored to the ancient traditions of the land, has always represented the essential and undeniable bond between Human Beings and Nature. 

Motivated by the curiosity to discover more about it, after a decade, I knew it was time to pursue that passion wholeheartedly. What better moment, I thought, to devote myself fully to the art of wine?

I began my formal studies in Sicily at the National School of Sommelier – FISAR, immersing myself in the rich terroirs and extraordinary wines of my homeland. After graduating and gaining invaluable hands-on experience, I set off for London to continue my education at the WSET – the International School of Wine and Spirits.

My time in London brought intense and thrilling professional experiences. I refined my expertise and shared my love of wine with guests from around the world. Those years deepened my appreciation for the craft and fueled my desire to bring the stories of wine, particularly Sicilian wine, to life.

And Then, Another Dream: The USA!

Next, I set my sights on the United States to continue growing and studying in the world of wine. Here in New York, I’m expanding my skills as a 360° wine specialist, pursuing advanced studies at the WSET and exploring new horizons in the industry.

These days, I’m especially passionate about organic and biodynamic wines, supporting small, independent producers from some of the world’s most remote and unique regions and I would love to share incredible moments with you on "How to Appreciate Wine Mindfully" and the "Value of Slow Living"!

 

 I can’t wait to you and embark on this journey together.
