Welcome to Episode 1995 Stevie Kim moderates Clubhouse’s Ambassadors’ Corner – In this episode, Mauricio de Chiaro interviews Fabio Costantino. These sessions are recorded from Clubhouse and replayed here on the Italian Wine Podcast! In this interview, Mauricio covers the learning objective: “We are all hearing a lot about how Etna is THE new destination in Italy. I hope this interview makes people more familiar with what Etna really means, and what kind of wines one can get with quality wine making techniques. And of course, we will all get to know Fabio and his work better.”

As an Italian Wine Ambassador, Mauricio has recently visited more than 100 wineries in Italy and is actively promoting Italian wine in Brazil, particularly highlighting lesser-known native grapes. With a 30+ year career in finance as a background, Mauricio is also bringing his business expertise into the Italian wine industry.
Inspired by the medieval guilds where knowledge was shared among craftsmen and merchants, Mauricio created The Wine Partners, a wine club that bridges the best talent in the industry with more engaged, 'hands-on' wine lovers. This platform empowers small, family-owned producers by allowing Partners not only to buy direct but also to have winemaking experiences. The Wine Partners has chapters in Miami and São Paulo.
For Mauricio, Italy offers a perfect mix of highly motivated talent supported by centuries of traditional knowledge. This, combined with an openness to new winemaking techniques and a vast variety of native grapes, is producing wonderful quality wines in various unique terroirs. Mauricio has discovered an immense number of smaller wine producers who offer high-quality yet unrecognized wines, making Italy the place to be for the avid wine lover.

Guest Bio -
Born in 1974. During his university studies as construction engineer Fabio fell in love with wine, starting to taste, compare and understand how a good wine is made. After his studies, he joined the family construction company as an entrepreneur, always with a look to the other family business: the farm and winery on Etna volcano, acquired by his father Dino in 1970. From the early 2000s Fabio started to join his father more and more in the management of the winery.
