Italian translation: non essere i migliori/il migliore

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:second best
Italian translation:non essere i migliori/il migliore

Food & Drink / produttori di cognac
English term or phrase: second best
Si parla della produzione di cognac. Come rendere al meglio in italiano? Grazie in anticipo


I would also say that passion is also essential. The teams with whom I work have to accomplish a complex task, faultlessly. The ability to communicate and to encourage the teams to pursue the quest for the aromatic heart is thus a crucial advantage. But with all this, you also have to be uncompromising. Once you settle for **second best** you know that you no longer represent the Heart of Cognac.
