Alessandro Genova
Professional sommelier since February 2005, I am above all an enthusiast who loves reading and learning about terroirs, tasting techniques and the wonderful world that revolves around wine. And of course, I love tasting. I enjoy maintaining relationships with producers, oenologists and fellow enthusiasts, and I don't shy away from exploring the distribution and marketing issues of wine production and commercialization.
