Hardworking, decisive, and authoritative, Silvano Piacentini is an iconic figure in Italian winemaking. The first professional sommelier in Verona and a pioneer of the early Winetaly events, he is considered by many a true enological bible.

For him, wine has always been a \u201cnectar,\u201d an affectionate and reverent term reflecting his deep respect for this ancient art.
\nHis journey in the world of wine began in 1961, just over twenty years old, but already with a clear vision: quality, authenticity, and terroir would be the cornerstones of his career. After decades of experience in the selection, importation, distribution, and production of high-level wines and spirits, in 2015 Silvano took a natural step: creating a line of wines bearing his name, directly expressing his vision and his connection to the land of Verona.
