Enzo’s enchantment with all things Tuscan began when he moved to the region with his family at the age of 11. Afternoons spent in his mother’s delicatessen furthered his interest in the regional food and when he was old enough, he applied to the renowned culinary institute at Montecatini.His training continued in the USA but he was drawn back to Italy to chef at Palazzo Belmonte in Southern Italy where he advanced his knowledge of wine by taking an advanced sommelier’s course.
