Luisito Perazzo, Italy's best sommelier, led a stage to discover the "wines of the sands"
To guide Stage #16 of the Sommelier Wine Box (July 2019) we turned to the best sommelier in Italy, the great Luisito Perazzo , who told us his story.
“I had thought of a different story for my life: Engineering at the Polytechnic of Milan. But, as often happens, some encounters aroused in me a curiosity for the knowledge of wine that has never abandoned me . I therefore embarked on a journey in which I immersed myself completely, driven by the desire to understand and understand the taste of wine, to personally know the territories, the places where the great wines are produced. Over time I took up the challenges that this job offered me, with the aim of putting myself to the test. With determination, I achieved various awards: Best Sommelier of Lombardy and Master Sangiovese in 2004, Master Nebbiolo the following year, up to Best Sommelier of Italy in 2005 .
My life passion, my daily passion, is focused on "Reading Wine", to discover the identities, the stories of the producer, the moods of the winemakers, the philosophies of the wine artisans . My task is to tell these stories full of life - sometimes even very emotional - to convey their work, to make it adequately professional, to enhance their product on the table with the desire to create an event with every glass ."
