Wine Trade & Consulting
Based on my experience working in restaurants, wholesale distribution, and as a supplier of Italian wine, my company provides wine trade consulting for Italian wine producers looking for representation in the USA and for distributors and importers worldwide looking for Italian wineries to represent.
I am an ambassador in the US market for a selection of artisan Italian wineries. I work independently with importers and distributors to oversee sales and marketing, education, events, and product placement.

Private Events & Pop-Ups
Being raised in a family of restaurateur-entertainers has its benefits. After years of working in restaurants and catering, I am adept at organizing enogastronomic events in the USA and Italy.
I collaborate with friends and partners in the food and wine industry to organize tastings and events that present Italian cuisine and culture in exciting and engaging ways.
I can be hired as a sommelier and educator for wine events. I also curate wine dinners and private events with talented chefs who design authentic and innovative menus for the optimal dining experience.
