Marco Mucciarelli was born in the province of Siena, in the heart of Tuscany on January the 30th 1962 and since little, his life is been involved in the wine and olive oil production.
From 3 years old, all his free time was spent at home of his grand parents and uncles, a nice farm at about one kilometre from his house.
The life in that farm was exactly the same like 500 years before: no tractors, no rush, unforgettable smells, cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, gooses, turkeys, guinea fowls, cats and dogs every ware. Fresh milk, wander fool bread, grate vegetables and meets.
Fantastic impressions during big events like the wheat, grapes and olive harvests, the production of flour, wine and olive oils, but also the ceremony of butchering the pork meets in winter.
The perpetual fire warmness in the kitchen, the embers were used also in summer to cook. The beautiful eyes of his grandmother that at about 4 p.m. prepared for him, his sister and cousins a greedy slice of bread with sugar and red wine on top in winter, and spread tomatoes with olive oil, salt and few drops of vinegar in summer. Also the grandfather used to take care of Marco, offering him a big glass of water wit few drops of red wine when "la massaia" (this is the name the farmers used to call the woman that cooked for every body, in this case, my grandmother)was looking in another side.
After his study on electronics he started to work for companies that settled industrial electronics machineries, but his hart was daily remembering him the smells and the atmospheres of the country side and his product.
For many years Marco and his father rented a vineyard and produced wine for them self and few friends.
In the '80s Marco Mucciarelli encountered Italo Zingarelli a famous italian movies producer owning a winery in Tuscany, a phenomenal person that convinced Marco to get beak in to the country because his grate love for wine, olive oil and traditional food. Marco changed completely his life, following his hart he started to participate to courses and classes on wine and olive oil, but his real experience was created because his passion on working with those products. Marco in fact worked for important wineries were he developed incredibly the methods of hosting clients coming from all over the World to know the realty of the productions, in the '90s were more than 2000 the owners of restaurants, wine shops, journalists, wine makers that every year visited the wineries with Marco doing a real experience instead of a simple tour of a wine cellar. The most of those people were so imprested that wanted Marco to guide them through the all Chianti area.
In 1996 Marco started to organise Educational on wine and olive oil, also for people maybe not directly involved in the wine business but very interested on knowing more about those fantastic products.
Marco also visited several different countries to see and taste directly the different productions, increasing his knowledge and his passion. In April 2000 Marco started to work on his side, managing programs for wine and food lovers coming from all over the world in to Tuscany and especially in the Chianti area were Marco lives with his wife Christina and his two children Viktoria and Francesco. Been Tuscan and with a such a grate knowledge on wine and olive oil, Marco Mucciarelli became a real testimonial of his territory so much that today he is know as the Tuscan Wine and Food Ambassador doing what he loves to do:
"When I am working, I do my best to bring people us close us possible to the story and the actuality of my territory and his beautiful inhabitants and products".
