About Umberto
I lead the European Sommelier School's German operations, expanding wine and gourmet tastings. I'm an international wine judge (Berlin Wine Trophy, National Cyprus Award, Wine of Greece, etc.) and teach sommeliers all over the world, from Chinese professionals to Brazilian ones. Author of books like Atlas Wines of Cyprus, A Sommelier Journey (multi-language), and Lidl's Vini a Tavola. I also consult in restaurant management and food marketing, my experience let me discover wine's power to unite people.
