Insider Guide to Exploring Italian Wines with Sommelier Anna

Ever since our mixologists made a name for London’s Met Bar in the 1990s, we’ve put more than a dash of innovation into our COMO drinks. You can taste the difference, from our healthy COMO Shambhala juices, to our Bhutanese whiskies served ‘on the rocks’. Annarubina Cateni, 23, is one of the youngest sommeliers in Italy, heading up a one-star Michelin restaurant – La Torre at COMO Castello del Nero – in the heart of the Chianti region. She also holds a degree in Cultural Heritage from the University of Siena, and is currently pursuing her master’s degree in History of Art. We speak to Anna about her unusual entry into the world of wine, and how you can enjoy Italian wine whether you’re an amateur or connoisseur.
