When I have the chance to meet passionate people with a wide range of skills and experience I always love to connect. When we all love what we do and we do it with passion, we can create amazing things. I look forward to collaborate with you.

Food Blogger
I’m Carlotta, a pasta-loving, wine-obsessed gastronome (aka a food lover) who’s passion for food began in the United Kingdom, at university. Since then I’ve completed a master’s in Food Culture, Communication and Marketing, lived in the land of truffles and great wines, New York City, and Milan, home. My latest adventure has been taking place in Val d’Orcia, Tuscany, where I’m working in the communications and marketing office of a boutique, biodynamic winery.
