Anselmo Martini was born and raised in Trentino, and during several years of academic and hands-on training at the renowned Istituto Agrario San Michele all'Adige, Martini earned the titles of expert winegrower, cellar master, and a degree in agrotechnics. He then went on to specialize in enology, honing his skills at a number of advanced technical institutions in northern Italy.

In subsequent years, Martini toured many of the world's major wine producing regions to study indigenous grape varietals and experience firsthand the influence of terroir. Throughout his travels, he encountered a diversity of winemaking techniques and formed valuable connections with key players in the international wine community.
