Sylvia DipWSET!

Ciao! My name is Sylvia. I am a certified Italian FISAR sommelier and a DipWSET graduate.

Sylvietta makes the difference. She is a wine expert with Italian roots, a marathon runner and a woman with a great passion for wine.

 

Wine ambassador

It’s all about wine!

A wine ambassador with proven success with international wine diplomas, strong sales experience and self-determination. 

I have completed several wine certification programs: FISAR Sommelier and WSET Level 4. Since January 2025 I am a DipWSET graduate. The Diploma Course is an expert level qualification covering all aspects of wine. 

Wine life in Italy

I have organized Wine and Food Experiences in Tuscany. I enjoyed sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm for local wine with people who express an interest in wine.

During the COVID 19 pandemic in Italy I started my own wine webshop. In this period I hosted online tours and tastings in Montepulciano for both individuals and companies.

Agent

Looking for an agent? I am a self-employed experienced commercial agent. I understand the wine business in many countries due to my studies and work experience in the wine industry.

Brand story

Back in the Netherlands since 2022, I represent and promote various wine brands in the retail sector through portfolio tastings, masterclasses, and presentations.

For some wine companies I work as a wine/brand ambassador. The wineries I work with produce amazing (brand) wines. The aim of being a wine ambassador is to increase sales, to attract new consumers and to improve brand identity and brand awareness.

Recommendation

“Sylvia has a lot of knowledge and passion for wine and conveys this in a very professional, pleasant and enthusiastic way to her audience. I can’t imagine a better ambassador for my wines”.

Run, eat and drink in Rome | a short trip to the eternal city

Run, eat and drink in Rome | a short trip to the eternal city

Last week I spent some days in Rome. After months of studying for my last WSET Diploma exam I needed a short break. I love Rome. I know the city quite well. It is a place where I have lived-in and have visited several times. Discover what to do and where to eat the best “spaghetti alla carbonara” and “maritozzo”. Enjoy the new foodie spots and how to run a city without chaotic traffic jams. Happy reading!

Visiting Ferrari Trentodoc

Visiting Ferrari Trentodoc

Visiting the winery Ferrari Trentodoc is a wonderful experience when you are in the area. Ferrari produces Trentodoc sparkling wines. All wines are prestigious sparkling wines made by the traditional method. Giulio Ferrari is the founder of the company in 1902. He sold his business to Bruno Lunelli in 1952. A tour at the winery is learning about its history. You will taste 3 wines during the wine tasting and tour.

Amazing Experience

An amazing experience from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this experience. Sylvia is welcoming and knowledgeable and above all, a fantastic and friendly guide. This made our trip! ~ Alex (UK)

Yoyfull

It was a nice tour. We really enjoyed the lunch and we had a lovely time with the other group members. The wine was very good and made us all very joyfull. Sylvia did an excellent job in choosing the restaurant and she acted like a very good host. ~ Anda (Romania)

Honeymoon highlight

This was the highlight of our honeymoon! It ended up just being myself and my husband on the tour, as the rest of our group didn’t show up. Sylvia and the team at Gattavecchi went above and beyond for us to make the day special. Also, Montepulciano is just breathtaking. If you are debating on stopping here, DO IT! We 110% recommend! Thank you Sylvia! ~ Sara (Calgary)
