Projects

Relationships are one of the most important aspects of my collaborations and partnerships. I am proud to be working with professionals across a variety of fields who are both inspiring and who share a similar vision for mindfulness, respect, elegance and grace.

The MLAKAS project
Art and wine for Sasso di Sole

The MLAKAS project was born of a common passion for the valuing of our natural world. Signifying “beautiful” in the Etruscan language, Mlakas encompasses the shared vision of Sasso di Sole winemaker Roberto Terzuoli, with his family vineyards in Montalcino within the UNESCOprotected lands of the Val d’Orcia, and the artist Allison Zurfluh with her oil paintings that explore the various layers and textures of the wetlands in the far north of the Venice Lagoon. The collection includes magnums of Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva 2012, each with an original oil painting hand-sewn to a fisherman's net that was applied by Allison's dear friend, the Buranello fisherman Domenico Rossi, with whom she shares a deep passion for the safeguarding of the Venice Lagoon.

As one of the most diverse and beguiling countries in the world, Italy is the custodian of many of the natural resources of our earth. These feed us, speak to our souls and bring us a deep sense of contentment, joy and peace. They have long bound us in moments of joy and friendship, hardship and tears. Our resources are our luxury, and the husbandry thereof our greatest responsibility.
