Piera Demartis

Ciao! I’m Piera, and I’m from Sardegna. I am an AIS-certified sommelier and a qualified Food & Wine Writer with the Scuola Italiana Sommelier. Wine has become my greatest passion, and I love talking about it not only as a drink, but as a journey through cultures, territories, and people. Every glass tells a story—a bridge connecting people and places with their roots. I enjoy visiting wineries, meeting producers, and transforming their words into stories that inspire others to travel. When I’m not in the vineyards, you’ll find me exploring new flavors, landscapes, and traditions to share—always with a glass in hand and Sardegna in my heart.
