Matteo, wandering food and wine passionate

Matteo Consultant

My name is Matteo , I was born in Trieste (Italy), and I grew up in a small village of 2,000 inhabitants close to the river Isonzo, San Pier d'Isonzo. Thanks to several academic and work experiences, I have had the chance to live in different cities in Italy, England, and Sweden. I have a great passion for everything related to food, beverage, and restaurant. I get excited drinking a good bottle of wine, I feel tears in my eyes when served a well-prepared dish, and it warms deeply my heart when a guest or a customer compliments me for the work well done. During the last few years, I had the chance to work as an F&B Manager in different countries, tasting plenty of wines. In addition to having studied as a sommelier for two years at the Academy of Restaurants in Stockholm, I have been part of several training courses, I have participated as a sommelier judge at "Amphore: International Competition for Organic Wines" in Paris, I have been an ambassador in Sweden for the Tuscany’s vinery Mazzei, I have managed a consulting company in the food and wine field since August 2016, carrying out training projects, cooking, wine tasting, evening events, and direct advice for Italian restaurants, bars, and food in Sweden. In addition, in the last few years, I have participated in several national and international competitions as a bartender. Now I am back home in Trieste guiding people around and discovering what's been defined by several international newspapers as a "hidden gem" of Italy.
