We live in a very hectic world today where everyone is focused on building a successful career and raising a happy family.

E seduti di fronte a me, non vedevo più colleghi e collaboratori, ma polli da batteria, costretti a beccare senza sosta." Con tono schietto e pungente, Tiziano Gaia ci conduce nel mondo dei vini.
