Expertise · Professional sommelier

Every choice must work at the table.

Dining room, cellar, wine list, tasting and storytelling: expertise developed through daily responsibility at Osteria de l'Umbreleèr.

Areas of experience

Four areas. One professional responsibility.

Wine knowledge, cellar management, hospitality and communication converge in one objective: making every choice appropriate to its context.

01

Hospitality

Dining room and hospitality

Service management, attention to the table, timing and guest relationships in daily work at Osteria de l'Umbreleèr.

Behind every table is unseen work built on preparation and listening: the dining room is where knowledge of the cellar becomes a shared experience.

02

Selection · Service

Cellar and wine list

Selecting labels, storage, wines by the glass, rotation and reading the list in relation to the restaurant’s cuisine.

Selected labels from Italian regions and around the world form a cellar built over time through tasting, comparison and constant research.

Wine dinners

Evenings at the Osteria built around a theme, where bottles, menu and the pace of service form one coherent journey.

I also offer private evenings for four to twelve guests, devoted to focused journeys through Piedmont, France, Champagne and the world’s great wines.

04

Storytelling · Training

Tasting and storytelling

Guided tastings and educational sessions devoted to regions, producers, vintages, winemaking and sparkling-wine methods.

I also provide genuine technical training—tasting, white and red winemaking and sparkling-wine production—for those who want to understand the journey to the glass.

Method

The right bottle begins with the right questions.

A tasting works when people, cuisine, budget, bottles and service are placed in the same coherent order.
