Who We Are

Born in 1985 in Cagliari, after a brief experience in London,
I have spent the last 18 years in Japan, where I have established
a respectable career in business consulting specific to the wine industry.

After earning a Bachelor's degree in Business Accounting and Marketing Management,
I began working at “Città D'Italia-Takaraya,” an importer and distributor of Italian wines
in Aichi Prefecture, Nagoya City.
Here, I took my first steps as a store manager, overseeing the distribution
of the company's imported wines and planning imports.

Subsequently, I embarked on a new challenge at JET (Japan Europe Trading),
a historic and leading company in the import and sale of Italian eno-gastronomic products.
During my four years with the company, I expanded my skills as a salesperson,
focusing initially on the Ho.Re.Ca. channel and later on large-scale retail.
My ability to communicate fluently in Japanese enabled me to collaborate
directly with prominent Italian producers such as:
Ferrari, Planeta, Masi, Frescobaldi, Livio Felluga, Badia a Coltibuono, Borgogno, etc.,
fully understanding the dynamics of sales, import-export, and the needs of producers from the Italian side.

What We Do

During my professional journey, I have built a solid network
both on the Japanese side (restaurateurs and distributors) and on the Italian side (producers).
Drawing from this experience, in 2015 I decided to found "Wine For You,"
a company that offers a comprehensive service for wineries on the Italian side,
and for importers on the Japanese side. Working at various levels to meet each client's needs
and creating tailor-made commercial proposals, relying on the valuable assistance of my team on site.
