ABOUT US

Drink Italian

Where Italy’s drinks culture becomes your next obsession — pour by beautiful pour.

Italy isn’t just a place on a map—
It’s a way of drinking, gathering, celebrating, and living.

At Drink Italian, we’re here to bring you all of it: the history in a sip of Barolo, the ritual in an Aperitivo, the craft behind an amaro, and the joy of discovering something new that tastes like joy. Whether you’re stocking your home bar or planning your next trip through Piemonte or Puglia, our stories and experiences turn curiosity into connection.

What We Believe

Drinks are culture.
They’re regional, rooted, emotional—and worth talking about.
We celebrate the people behind the bottles, the places that shaped them, and the hands that pour them. We write about them with depth and delight. Think story first, facts second, served with a smile.

What We Create

Stand‑alone editorial that feels alive
— stories from the vineyards, distilleries, cellars, bar counters, and piazzas of Italy.

Tastings, guides & curated lists
— from world‑renowned classics to new expressions you’ve never tasted before.

Events & experiences
— virtual and live gatherings where flavor meets community.

Newsletters & culture briefs
— weekly inspiration that tastes as good as it reads.

Who We’re For

For Curious Drinkers.
If you tap a story about a winemaker and suddenly want to book a flight — that’s us.

For Beverage Creators.
We help you tell your story in a way that highlights craft, heritage, and personality — not press releases.

For PR & Industry Partners.
Think of us as a creative ally. We’re storytellers with a global audience, grounded in culture and tuned into what drink lovers want to read about — not just what brands want to say.

Andiamo a prendere l’aperitivo? Offro io!
Ti va un caffe’? o meglio un cappuccino?
Mi puo’ fare una spremuta d’arancia rossa di Sicilia?
Che ne dici di un Negroni?
Non vedo l’ora di degustare quel Brunello di Montalcino del 2015
Un altro giro, per favore!
