More about today's guest:
Pablo is from Florianópolis, Brazil. His background is Engineering and Project Management, working for 15 years with greenfield projects in the energy sector. In 2019, however, he decided to take a sabbatical from his career and after driving 13,000 kilometers through Italy, he realized that his true love and his purpose in life were there. He decided to follow this vocation for the Bel Paese and to turn it into a profession, beginning his training in wine taking several certificates in a short time (Professional Sommelier, WSET Level 3, Italian Wine Scholar). In 2022 he began studying for the WSET Diploma certificate. Also in 2022, Pablo becomes the Italian Wine Ambassador of the Vinitaly International Academy - following the course in London, thus realizing the dream of working with his true passion: Italy and its food, wine, culture and history. Pablo is now working to bring Vinitaly International Academy basic and intermediate courses to the Brazilian public, as he strongly believes in the potential of this market for Italian wines.. He also writes about wine for the websites southamericawineguide.com and vinhosunica.com.br.
