Alessandro Lunardi, US Director and manager for the family of Marchesi de' Frescobaldi

Alessandro Lunardi was born and raised in Florence, Italy.  After graduating from the School of Architecture at the Uniersity of Florence, he partnered in a management-consulting firm promoting European Union funds to aid agriculture.  The firm specialized in quality and innovation projects for wineries and vineyard growers throughout Tuscany.  This 10 years long experience brought Alessandro in touch with many wine producers and gave him an intimate, in-depth understanding of the wine industry. 

 After moving to New York at the end of 1995, Alessandro joined Luce della Vite, the Italian winery created by the partnership of Marchesi de Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi, as brand ambassador.  In April 2004 he became the US manager for the family of Marchesi de' Frescobaldi, overseeing the US business for Frescobaldi, Ornellaia, Luce dellla Vite, Atems and Danzante. 

 Alessandro lives and works in New York City. 

We are pleased to welcome Alessandro to Olde Towne Liquors and encourage you all to join us in tasting some delicious wines in the company of a talented expert.
