What is your favorite wine, winery, or wine region?
I love red wine. Bolgheri wines are amazing. This is the area of the famous Super Tuscans wines.
What is your favorite restaurant and what is your favorite dish?
I’m pretty traditional, I love the small osteria’s or vinaio’s (small wine bars with simple traditional foods). The menus change daily and seasonally. The atmosphere is always fun and relaxed.
What is your favorite meal your mum or nonna makes for you?
It’s called Patatonno. It’s a tuna and potato mash. It’s great on a cold day. I loved it as a kid, so now it has fond memories for me with my Nonna.
What is your favorite village in Tuscany?
I like to take clients to places “off the beaten tourist tracks” like to Massa Marittima. This is my birthplace actually. Massa Marittima is in the province of Grosseto and is close to the sea.
What is for favorite gelato?
Bacio - almonds and chocolate
What is the one thing every visitor to Tuscany should see, do or try?
There is something very special and magical about sitting in Piazzale Michelangelo in Florence at sunset and looking out over the Arno River and the historic city. It’s an amazing panoramic view over Florence and it’s famous bridges.
What is your standard coffee that you drink?
Like all Italians that I know, we only drink espresso. I love my espresso.
