Ricardo Martínez, sumiller

01

The beginning · the craft on the floor

I started very young in hospitality, learning that serving wine is, above all, an act of hospitality. More than two decades dedicated to wine later, I still believe it: wine isn't served, it is accompanied.

02

The training · the discipline of the palate

WSET Level II certified, trained by winemakers, growers and the finest sommeliers I have had the privilege to work with. The training never ends; wine always has one more question.

03

The present · private tastings and wine tourism

Today I design private experiences for national and international guests who want more than just a glass: they want to understand the landscape, meet the producer and keep a story worth telling.

04

The philosophy · wine with soul

I work with small wineries, altitude wines and artisan projects. I defend narrative pairing: each glass is a chapter, each tasting a book.
