Philip Di Belardino

Born in Rome and educated in the US, Philip was taught the family wine business at the dinner table. Philip is a co-founder of the Italian Wine Council, which was an advisory group to the Italian Wine Commission. His connoisseurship extends beyond the world of wines to include a love of opera and theater. He always says, "My father didn't know from the Mets, only the Met!" He is presently Vice President of the new Vinum Division of Banfi Vintners.
