Born and raised in Scotland, Laura Gray studied English Literature at Somerville College, University of Oxford. The day after her last exam, she had her wisdom teeth removed, sold her belongings and moved to Italy. Her intention was to conclude the previous year’s summer romance before returning to real life. Instead, she married him, and they now have three children. She has lived there ever since.
Laura had the good fortune to find herself in Montalcino, a beautiful hilltop town in the heart of Tuscany, where the prestigious Brunello di Montalcino DOCG wine is produced. The leap from books into wine was inevitable. Laura qualified as a sommelier in 2004, and she was the CEO and manager of a small winery for twenty years. Since 2022, she has worked freelance as a winery whisperer as well as running bespoke art history tours.
Laura is the author of The Magpie&#8217;s Guide to Montalcino.
