He was fortunate to be born in Spoleto and to have discovered Trebbiano Spoletino about twenty years ago, during the early years of the "rebirth" of this wonderful grape variety. Paolo studied at the Montefalco delegation of the Italian Sommelier Association, where he refined his palate and discovered the intricacies of wine tasting. He has also lived abroad, in Germany, Japan, and Poland, where he worked as a sommelier at some Italian restaurants and found himself again by returning to Spoleto, where he can be in contact day after day with wineries, producers, and restaurants.
