I specialized in viticultural and oenological sciences at the University of Asti in Italy and Montpellier in France. I was born in the province of Milan, where I graduated in viticulture and oenology, while I grew up around the world. I specialized in viticultural and oenological sciences at the University of Asti in Italy and Montpellier in France. I wrote my experimental thesis at the INRA (Institut National De La Recherche Agronomique – National Institute of Agronomic Research) in Gruissan, France. I started working at a very young age. While studying, I had the chance to participate to various harvests in Italy (Lombardy, Trentino, Abruzzo, Campania, Basilicata, Sicily and Puglia) and to deepen my knowledge of working in the vineyard in Piedmont. Moreover, I had the opportunity to travel in the southern hemisphere, where I took part to harvests in South Africa, Argentina and Australia. After completing my studies, I started working as a winemaker in central and southern Italy, before moving to Lombardy and Piedmont and finally to Sicily, where I worked for several years. After the Sicilian experience I decided to leave and complete my training abroad. I then worked in vineyards and in harvests in New Zealand, Chile, California and once again in Australia. In 2018 I developed the idea of Affina, which was officially launched in 2019. I am a big fan of sea, surfing, underwater fishing and swimming. At the moment i'm consulting winery in Veneto, Lombardy, Trentino, Tuscany, Apulia, Sicily and Abruzzo.
