About Me

Giovanni Orlotti, an Italian entrepreneur, was born in the picturesque city of Salerno, Italy. His early years were shaped by the rich cultural heritage and vibrant atmosphere of his native land. It was in Italy where Giovanni developed a deep appreciation for the culinary traditions and fine wines that would later define his career. At the age of 14, Giovanni's life took a new turn as his family made the bold decision to relocate to Mexico. This move marked the beginning of a new chapter for Giovanni, where he would continue to be influenced by the flavors and aromas of his Italian upbringing while embracing the warmth and hospitality of Mexican culture. The entrepreneurial spirit ran deep in Giovanni's family, and it was no surprise when his parents established a successful business importing and distributing wines and gourmet products from Italy to Mexico. The exposure to the world of wine and gastronomy during his formative years ignited Giovanni's passion for the industry. After completing his higher education, Giovanni felt a strong pull to join his family's business. His decision was not only driven by a desire to continue the legacy his parents had built but also by his profound love for both Italy and Mexico. For Giovanni, the opportunity to serve as a bridge between these two beloved countries was a dream come true. Today, Giovanni Orlotti stands as a respected figure in the world of wine, holding the prestigious title of Cavaliere in the “Sovrano e Nobilissimo Ordine dell ́Amarone e del Recioto del Veneto.” His dedication to promoting Italian wine in Mexico has been recognized with the esteemed Italia México Prize, a testament to his 25-year journey in championing the flavors of his homeland.
