My name is Raffaele Martinelli and I am an experienced Italian sommelier with over 10 years

in the hospitality industry, including 6 years dedicated specifically to the world of wine.

Throughout my career, I have cultivated a deep understanding of wine selection, pairing, and

service, which has allowed me to enhance the dining experiences of guests and contribute

to the success of the establishments I have worked with.

My expertise encompasses a wide range of wine regions, varietals, and trends, enabling me

to provide tailored recommendations and develop curated wine lists that resonate with

diverse clientele. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and helping businesses

elevate their wine offerings to create memorable experiences for their customers.

This passion for the industry was born in the United Kingdom when I started to serve people

that were truly enjoying the culinary experience and seeing such appreciation has motivated

me to recreate similar experiences for the palates around the world.
