Staff spotlight: Our wine experts!



How do we create all corporate and team building activities around wine and food?

Easy!


We taste lots of wines that inspire our dinners with wine, appetizers, teambuilding with wine and the many activities which include travel incentives.



Filippo Bartolotta, our wine journalist, sacrifices himself for us and this week he has to taste hundred of wines from Tuscany ... it's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it!




In spite of all those who think it's great fun, we challenge anyone to try Chianti, Carmignano, Vernaccia di San Gimignano, Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and Nobile di Montepulciano in a week for a total of more than 400 wines.



Maybe one of the test tasted wines by Filippo that ends up recommended in many prestigious Italian wine guides will be at your next corporate event in Tuscany or the winery to use for your teambuilding activities in Italy!



To customize an event for you, we are at your disposal! Contact Le Baccanti Corporate staff for additional inquiries.
