Italian wine is one of the most fascinating in the world, but also one of the most complex. Hundreds of grape varieties, twenty regions, and labels that reveal almost nothing unless you already know what to look for.

This private online consultation allows you to gain clarity. In a one-hour live chat via WhatsApp, you'll receive personalized advice from me, specifically tailored to your needs, whether you're a curious beginner or an experienced wine enthusiast looking to deepen your knowledge.

  • Which bottle to bring to dinner, buy as a gift, or order at a restaurant

  • How to pair Italian wine with the dishes you prepare and eat

  • The difference between regions, grape varieties, and wine styles

  • How to read a label, understand a vintage, or navigate a wine list

  • Hidden and lesser-known wines worth discovering

One session. Concrete answers. No guesswork.

Certified Sommelier

Born and raised in Avellino, one of Italy's most renowned wine-producing provinces, home to Taurasi, Greco di Tufo, and Fiano di Avellino, Paolo developed a deep passion for wine long before undertaking formal studies.

He later trained and earned the certification as a certified sommelier from the Italian Sommelier Association (AIS), the most prestigious and historic sommelier association in Italy, founded in 1965 and recognized worldwide as a benchmark for wine expertise in Italy.

His true passion, however, lies in vintage wines: the bottles that encapsulate history, patience, and the story of an exceptional vintage. Paolo believes that understanding a great aged wine is the surest way to fully understand Italian wine culture.

"Paolo will reply within 2 hours to confirm your slot."

What clients say

"I used to pick the same safe bottle every time. After one hour with Paolo I finally understood the difference between a Barolo and a Brunello — and walked out of Waitrose with something I'd actually chosen myself."

"Paolo is patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate. He recommended three bottles I'd never heard of, all under £20, and every single one was outstanding. I've already booked a second session."
