Motivation

"For my Doctoral Thesis, I went to Piedmont. During this stages the legendary Angelo Gaja taught me that less than 2% of the total world wine production deserves to be called ‘quality wine', but only a few buyers seems to have the ability to recognize and distinguish them. Because I’m one of them, and I know the market for decades, I started Flying Wine Buyer.”
