Mark Fornatale

Mark Fornatale, Italian Portfolio Manager for Michael Skurnik Wines, began his career in the wine business by writing freelance about wine and food for Playboy.com. In 2001, he landed a job as head of Morrell & Company’s Italian division. In 2004, in order to better promote the small artisanal producers whose wines he loves so much, Mark moved into the import and wholesale side of the business with Michael Skurnik Wines, an importer of the finest estate bottled wines from across the world. Mark speaks fluent Italian and is as passionate about cycling, music & food as he is about wine.
