About Mannavini
Pier Giorgio Manna
Pier is also a certified Professional Sommelier. In 1974, upon completion of over three years of courses, practices, and exams, he passed the final test and was certified as Professional Sommelier by the Italian Association of Sommeliers. His passion for fine wine is still alive and well today.
In 1993, Pier moved to Manhattan to work as a consultant and helped open "The Pasta Place," a restaurant concept based on freshly made pasta. The following year, he took the position of Wine Director and Sommelier at Felidia Restaurant in New York City.
In 1996, Pier moved to Austin, TX, and started distributing good Italian wines—and that is where Mannavini’s story begins. Over the years, we’ve become the trusted name in wine distribution across Texas. We look forward to helping you find the perfect products to meet your needs.
