Born and raised in Suvereto, a beautiful, unspoilt medieval village on the coast of Tuscany, Filippo began the career in the world of wine in 1999 when, at the age of 26, he founded Fufluns, a travel boutique concierge company specialising in customized wine tours in Italy. He earned a degree in 2001 at Le Conseil Interprofessionnel du Vin de Bordeaux, before studying for the WSET Diploma. An independent wine writer, he contributes to multiple prominent wine publications.
