Growing up in the Langhe district in a small town in Piemonte, Italy, Luciano left home to follow his passion as a waiter and sommelier throughout Europe. As the Director of Trussardi Alla Scala Ristorante, in Milano, he received two Michelin Stars in two years.
Moving back home in late 2009, he joined Domenico Clerico, top Barolo producer, as his right-hand man.
