More about today’s host: As an Italian Wine Ambassador based in Brazil and in Piemonte, Mauricio has recently visited more than 150 wineries in Italy and is actively promoting Italian wines in Brazil and for Brazilians around the globe, particularly highlighting lesser-known native grapes. With a 30+ year career in finance as a background, he is also bringing his business expertise into the Italian wine industry. Mauricio created The Wine Partners, a buyers’ 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 unique winemaking experiences. The Wine Partners has chapters in Miami, Orlando, NY, Lisbon, and São Paulo. 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.
