Eat and drink like a top Italian wine critic.

While it’s not hard to find terrific meals and excellent wines in Italy, it’s always easier (and more enjoyable) when you have an expert to guide you. If anyone can speak to the culinary prowess of Italy, it’s Aldo Fiordelli, a renowned food and wine critic, journalist, and an editorial board member of the prominent L’Espresso restaurant and wine guide. The Florence native and resident writes for national publications including Corriere della Sera (the country’s most read newspaper) and Civiltà del Bere (Italy’s oldest wine magazine). A certified sommelier, he served as a judge for the 2019 Decanter World Wine Awards. 

Fiordelli, who will help advise on the Equinox Explore trip to Florence in 2020, spoke to Furthermore about his favorite restaurants in his homeland, go-to workout, and more.
