Luiz A. G. Alberto
"A Brazilian with Italian blood and an American heart. Very complex, just like a great wine. I am a wine-loving guy. Besides the longing for breathing wine, I also feel the urge and the pressure to learn everything about and around wine. This is the reason why I joined the Master of Wine Institute a few years ago. Although it is a great challenge, I enjoy each and every day of my studies."
