My name is Nelea Pattacini. I grew up in Italy and graduated from law school in Parma, then pursued a Masters in international law at the University of Miami USA. Nevertheless, my passion for wine, culture, and food has always been my most vivid interest to be mastered.

After 11 years of experience of participating in wine tastings, visiting several cantinas in Italy and around the world, I decided to take the Sommelier course in Parma and later a Sommelier course in New York. Besides that, I think that knowing several languages is significant if one wants to excel in their career and discover the world of wines. That’s why English is my fifth language to be grasped and improved, and most important after Italian and French in order to travel the world and communicate about wine.

I had experience in working and participating at the wine festivals and tastings in Italy, France and USA before I took the sommelier courses. After finishing the courses and obtaining the licenses, my curiosity to travel around the world increased even more, visiting cantinas, wineries and learning about new wines and dishes that can be paired together. In fact, I will definitely share those experiences on my website with all of my visitors and followers.

I have enjoyed amazing wine events, unique places, like castles and villas, famous and unknown cantinas, rare and unbelievable wines, antique and secret dishes. I have met incredible wine producers, winemakers and owners of wineries. I assure you that my passion is an extremely fascinating world to be revealed and experienced!
