Dario Lamonaca
Your Italian Wine Consultant
Hi, I’m Dario
I am an Italian sommelier and wine consultant based in Cheshire. My passion for wine is as ancient as the roots of my homeland – Calabria. The ancient Greeks called it Enotria, to indicate the luxuriant vineyards which covered its valleys.
To me, wine is a family matter. I grew up watching the grapes of my grandfather’s vineyards ripen under the August sun. The colors of the earth, the sounds of the fermentation in the barrels, the scents of the grape harvest – everything spoke to me about roots and a sense of belonging.
