Author Bio

Thirty-two year old Olivia Darling was born and raised in Cornwall. At the age of eighteen she met an Italian art student in St Ives and ran away to Tuscany in hot pursuit of him. The love affair didn't last but Olivia's sojourn in Montepulciano inspired a much more enduring passion for Vino Nobile. Her other interests include ballroom dancing 'she has won awards for her quickstep' and men who drive Aston Martins. She divides her time between Tuscany and London.
