Geisha Gourmet is the feminine side of food and wine, it is the sensuality of wine, the seduction of the table . Geisha Gourmet is your Sherazade , who pours into your glass every day a story and an emotion that can satisfy your soul and palate.

Geisha Gourmet is me , who has always wanted to live wine and write it for what it is, that is, conviviality, passion, culture, traditions, the toil of men and women, love for their land, landscapes. Live it and write it also for what is its normal enjoyment: an evening with friends, a tête-à-tête, an aperitif with the sunset in your eyes. In short, mine is a romantic and perhaps popular vision of wine, but it is the one that I believe more than any other can reach your heart and induce you to give yourself the pleasure of a bottle, understanding its values.

In 2021 I will continue to do what I have always done, but with some new things that I hope you will like.

I am passionate. Of wine and cooking. Of stiletto heels and clothes. Of meat cooking on the grill and the magical ritual of homemade tagliatelle . Of the thousand stories that a wine tells you and the memories that you can hide inside. Of rows of vines immersed in the warm light of dusk, with all their poetry. Of life.

I am lucky, because I have been able to make a job out of this. I am a food and wine reporter . I write cookbooks and wine books and also novels. I was a wine tutor for Detto Fatto 3, the afternoon program on Rai2 hosted by Caterina Balivo.

I have a regular column “Piaceri” every Saturday in the Corriere del Trentino and Corriere dell’Alto Adige (Corriere della Sera regional supplements).

I collaborate with various magazines. I host food and wine events and cooking shows. I have done a bit of radio and TV. I have 10 children in the bookstore (the 10 books I have written so far, the latest being VINO pret-à-porter, ed. Rizzoli Mondadori) and 1 in kindergarten.

I have simple tastes, I always settle for the best. Oscar Wilde said so too 😎.

I collaborate and/or have collaborated with:

At the Table , Vdg , Wine Passion, Bell'Italia , Vero, Uomini e Business, Il Mondo, Papageno , Corriere del Trentino , Corriere dell'Alto Adige, Corriere Imprese, TrentinoMese . I am an editorial consultant for some magazines and House organs.

It is an honor for me to tell you that I am part of the National Association of Women of Wine , that at the end of 2010 I joined the Confraternity of the Vine and Wine of Trento (the oldest in Italy) and since the end of 2011 the Sovereign and Most Noble Order of Amarone and Recioto (dating back to 1300, which awarded me the title of Knight). In February 2017 I became an Academician of Italian Cuisine .

In 2012, 2013 and 2014 I was part of the jury of Best Sommelier of Italy – Franciacorta Award , the final stage of the most important national sommelier competition promoted by AIS.

In 2017 I was part of the examination board for the ALMA Dining Room, Bar and Sommelier Course.
