the selections of the President
In the last 40 years, he has designed, built, furnished, or set up nearly 700 restaurants, hotels, and venues across the seven continents—a milestone he will celebrate in 2026/2027. Today, his experience, vision, and refined taste make him one of the most authoritative figures in the global HO.RE.CA world.
After curating a personal selection of hotels, restaurants, and venues that represent true excellence worldwide (www.horeca-tdhi.com), he is now dedicating the same attention to wines and beverages. Guided by his unmistakable sense of quality, he will choose the labels that best embody uniqueness, elegance, and prestige.
TDHI ITALIA has already begun presenting exclusive proposals, and now we extend this opportunity to wineries that wish to showcase their very best. We are not looking for “good” wines—we are seeking the exceptional:
-
Italian and international wines of absolute excellence
-
Unique or rare selections
-
Reserves with distinctive character and history
This is your opportunity to showcase your creations before an expert whose judgment can unlock doors to international visibility, prestige, and new markets.
To present your wines for evaluation, please get in touch with our secretariats:
✉ International: info@tdhi-international.com
✉ Italy: info@tdhi-italia.com
If your wine is truly extraordinary, it deserves to be discovered. Let us taste your excellence.
The President reported the winery to our general manager. Dr Magri, in 2022, donated the President 1 "Elogio" and 1 "Patrizio Magri". The President tasted the wines and informed us that the IGT "Elogio" vintage 2017 was excellent.
In 2022, Dr Pittarello donated the President and all the management of TDHI ITALIA the passito "SYMPOSIUM". Dr Pittarello also donated a special reserve from the "SYMPOSIUM" to the President. The President considered the reserve "SYMPOSIUM" something unique and delicious.
The President reported the Santa Sofia winery to Dr Pittarello. Dr Pittarello, in 2022, donated 3 bottles of the "Amarone Classico Riserva" vintage 2013 to the President. The President, a collector and connoisseur of Amarone wine, tasted the wine and informed us that it was of excellent quality, very good, and even included it in his top 5 ranking.
In 2021, Dr Pittarello let the President taste all the wines of the Io Mazzucato winery. The President so much appreciated the "Torcolato" and the numbered Rosé sparkling wine that he proposed to the TDHI Group to evaluate the accreditation of the Io Mazzucato winery in the ten special projects for the three years 2022/2025.
In December, at San Carlo, a historic restaurant in the old town near the Vienna Opera, the President had the opportunity to taste a 2015 vintage ORNELLAIA. The President judged it to be a sublime bottle.
During the annual dinner of the RDG Group in December 2022, which took place exceptionally in Vienna at the Hotel Bristol, a Luxury Collection Hotel, the six directors, together with the President, had the opportunity to receive six beautiful half-bottles of Tignanello 2015. All the members thought the wine was wonderfully good. The President decided to make a toast to the "Marchesi Antinori", an ancient and renowned Italian winery.
vintage 2018 CAPOFORTE PRIMITIVO
12 2023 - During the annual shareholder lunch of the D&D Foundation at the Grand Hotel River Park, a Luxury Collection Hotel, the shareholders presented the President with an interesting wine, the "Primitivo Capoforte". The red Italian wines most loved by the President are Amarone and Primitivo. The President asked us to include the primitive Capoforte in this list because he found it interesting and worthy of attention.
vintage 2016 LAND IoMazzucato
05 2025 - Those who follow me know that I am a collector and a lover of wines. I collect them to live and drink them, not to make money. I love red French wines, and Corton, Romanée-Conti, and Château Margaux are among my favourites. A few days ago, I had the pleasure of hosting some French partners as guests who do not live in Europe and sharing my love for structured French red wines. Without showing it, I served a 2016 red wine, waiting for their comments. Excellent, very good, delicious, wow, that's good, these are the comments received. When they saw the bottle, they couldn't believe it. They had tasted a fantastic 100% pure Merlot. It was a great feeling. "Land" by IoMazzucato, Veneto, Italy.
