Intimate.Wine
About
Our Background
We are the founders of Intimate.Wine. We both come from Hospitality backgrounds. Tourism and Wine have been our passion for 17+ years. It was a natural progression that led us to open Intimate.Wine, offering curated wine tastings. We’ve encountered so many people looking for unique experiences while they traveled through the Chianti Classico region, that we decided to team up to do what we’ve been doing for friends and family and curate unforgettable experiences that connect visitors with the vines. We are so pleased and proud to be able to extend Intimate.Wine to you.

— Massi

Sommelier
Massimiliano (Massi) Nava
As a Certified Sommelier and people enthusiast, I have dedicated my career to the art of wine, building my expertise since 2008 across various capacities. Growing up in the heart of Chianti Classico region, this terroir has instilled in me a profound appreciation for wine and its cultural significance. At the heart of my practice is the concept of “la dolce vita,” or “a life of sweet pleasures”. My aim is to offer a relaxed environment for anyone interested in wine tastings. I am eager to share my passion for my country’s wines and engage with others in thought-provoking conversations.

Experience Director
Emily Spadafora
I have been in tourism since 2001, developing my passion for connecting people with local experiences, food, wine, art and culture. Having had the privilege to work and live in multiple countries, above all, Italy has captured my heart and soul – a call back to my ancestral roots. I believe that the connections made when traveling are invaluable and enriching. I encourage everyone to try local experiences (especially wine tastings!) whenever they have the opportunity.
