It’s all in the name, but is that always true?
The name "Gianbevi" comes from the fun combination of my first and last name, to get round the professional contradiction in terms that it contains.
My name is Gianluigi Bevilacqua and my surname in English would be Drinkwater!
I am a Wine Brand Ambassador.
My unconditional passion for wine and my great curiosity have always driven me to stay permanently up-to date with this fascinating and exclusive world. To achieve this, I read every publication I can get my hands on, I taste and perfect the senses linked to art of tasting, and finally I accumulate the experience needed to build my passion, which is also my profession, around this.
My company operates mainly in the countries of the former Soviet Union and represents a carefully chosen and very select group of producers. My selection criteria are clear, predetermined and very precise including:
- geographical location (in order to cover the best of the Italian regions, as far as possible);
- attention to absolute quality during the production phase;
-level of innovation present in the preparation of the wines,
- regional representativeness of the wines produced;
- presence of a "fascinating story" in the brand;
- image, which must absolutely characterise the high quality of the product. Therefore, all the companies that I represent have fully satisfied the above criteria.
I work with exclusive importers from my regions and with national associations and deal with local sommeliers, raising awareness of the brand in the market and the specialist press, technical training of staff, presentations, support and selection of sales teams.
Whenever possible, I personally attend technical and social tasting sessions and all events in the best and selected restaurants in the regions or in prestigious locations, coordinating directly with chefs to ensure the correct food/wine pairings.
