C's knowledge of Tuscan wine is the kind that comes not from textbooks but from years of tasting alongside the people who make it. She knows which small producers in Montalcino are making Brunello that rivals estates ten times their size, which Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is worth cellaring for a decade, and — more importantly for a Vineyard Sunrise journey — which wines will genuinely surprise and delight you at a price that reflects the producer's craft rather than their marketing budget. When Claudia recommends a wine, it is because she has tasted it, knows the person who made it, and believes it belongs in your glass. Based in Tuscany. Speaks English and Italian.
