ITALIANOI was born in Florence in 1976, and from an early age, I developed a deep passion for the land and wine. After a humanities-focused education that provided me with a strong cultural foundation, I chose to pursue agricultural sciences. In 2001, I graduated with honors in Agricultural Sciences and Technologies from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Florence, presenting a two-year experimental thesis as part of the “Chianti Classico 2000” project. My research analyzed the effect of planting density on the yield and quality of Sangiovese, a topic that shaped my journey and my vision of viticulture.
That same year, I obtained the title of Agronomist and the qualification to practice as a freelance professional, starting an intense activity as a technical consultant in viticulture. I began by managing the vineyards of several wineries and later expanded my expertise to include enological aspects and techniques. This period was essential for consolidating my experience and putting my knowledge into practice.
In 2007, I chose to embark on my career as an independent professional, working with prestigious wineries and collaborating with renowned agronomic firms. With the desire to further deepen my understanding of wine in all its phases, I earned a second degree in Viticulture and Oenology with honors, also obtaining the title of Oenologist.
Today, through my work, I put into practice a vision of wine based on balance, attentiveness, and respect for the land. My goal is to transform producers’ ideas into wines that tell the story of their terroir and evoke authentic emotions. Every decision, from vineyard to cellar, is guided by experience, sensitivity, and a profound understanding of nature and wine.
