Food Art
AND IF THEY ASK YOU,
,,
IS WINE ART?
We believe that if you were in the company of the Sommelier Francesco Pagani, the
answer would certainly be a huge Yes. Passion, knowledge, study and a dialectic of public
speaking, are the main qualities that characterize the figure of Francis. We had the
pleasure of attending a tasting to understand how much this wine professional transmits
enthusiasm and involvement to every “sip”.
His career path in wine began with courses of AIS, ONAV. He then met two great Masters
of tasting, Christian Roger, with whom he now works in the world of wine consulting and
investment in Wine (www.christianroger.com ) and Sandro Sangiorgi (www.porthos.it)
from whom he picked up his approach to Wine in which emotionality and subjectivity are
absolute protagonists.
Nowadays, besides working with Christian Roger, he works regularly with the “La
Collina dei Ciliegi” winery (www.lacollinadeiciliegi.it) with which he holds tasting events
throughout Italy and beyond, working with both institutional and private clients. and
measuring himself with working contexts always in step with the times. In his evenings
there is no boredom, but only curiosity and willingness to “open up” to wine, so as to lead
his guests on a sensory journey that captures, impresses and leads to greater awareness.
The world of wine goes hand in hand with the world of Altacucina, and this is the reason
that led us to emphasize in this space to a professional figure like that of Francesco,
because as he often likes to say “the only reason why man decided to create an
extraordinary drink as the wine is so that it ends as soon as possible on the table “.
Look for Francesco, look for his evening and, when you find out, you will fall in love with
the enmondo, but remember that after going back will be impossible.
