Another important topic for both of us is wine. Which wine are you passionate about? I love black Pinot wih all my heart, it is a wine of unique elegance. If I had to choose an Italian native wine, I would say Nerello Mascalese, a grape from Sicily that grows on Mount Etna. Last, but not least, Champagne of course!

How do you feel about being part of the 2017 San Pellegrino and Le Soste festival? Ticino’s festival is a unique occasion from a cultural point of view. The event has great prestige and it is an honour for me, personally and professionally, to participate. It also gives space to my staff and allows them to express their ability without me which enables them to grow as individuals. HEditionMag
