Giorgio Parrino

It was Love,“Il Amore”, that brought Giorgio Parrino to England from his home village south of Palermo in Sicily. We notice, coincidentally, that most of the young men of the village are now living in south London. Although his father makes wine, Giorgio is quite clear that it’s nothing we’d want to drink. No disrespect meant to his father, of course. Giorgio should know what good wine is, as he studied winemaking and viticulture in some leading estates in Sicily and Puglia. giorgio@thewineryuk.com
