The Italian Wine Expert
Italian wine speaker
Our Italian wine speaker for that night will be Francesco Puglia, who was born in Salerno, Campania, Italy.
He came to Japan in 2006 and gained experience working for a wine importing company, where he developed a deep knowledge of the regions and traditions of Italy.
Subsequently, in 2014, he established Sassolino Co., Ltd.
His mission is clear: to bring rare and unique products to the Japanese market that embody the unique character and charm of each region.
His main customers are the restaurant industry, and our products are highly regarded by those who seek authentic taste and quality.
The brand also has a wide presence in department stores across Japan, and in particular at its Italian Fairs, it showcases the richness of Italian culture through its finest wines.
