CHARLOTTE HORTON

Castello di Potentino

Charlotte has been making award-winning wines in Tuscany for over 20 years. She has restored two Castles in Tuscany. At the second, Castello di Potentino, she has revitalized an abandoned estate, planting new vineyards, bringing olive trees back into production and creating a cultural centre, aka ‘The 21st Century Castle’, where people can stay in a rural family atmosphere. She has been running food and wine pop-up events in Italy, Canada, New York, London, Ireland and France since 2010. Charlotte is currently working on a book about Potentino Life with photographer Michael Woolley. 

Before moving to Italy, she worked for Vogue Magazine, Secker and Warburg Publishing House and then as a freelance journalist. In 2013, she was recognized as one of the Barclay’s Women of Achievement.
