Acknowledgments

When the Best Sommelier category debuted in the 2008 Summum Awards, Giovanni Bisso took first place, a recognition that he has now received on five separate occasions. A true master of the art of choosing, tasting, and pairing wines —not to mention piscos, cognacs, and other drinks— he is a consultant, professor, and columnist. As a professional with the perfect pairing of experience and talent, Giovanni —like the world’s most exquisite wines— has only become more refined and well-rounded with the years, gradually ensuring the fulfilment of his immense potential.
