For her and her family, wine has never been just a business—it is a passion, a way of life, and a reflection of their deep respect for the land. In 2005, Luisa began working full-time at the winery, initially focusing on administration, accounting, and logistics. As she expanded her expertise, she deepened her knowledge of English and gradually took on responsibilities in export and public relations. Today, she oversees sales and manages the winery’s operations, while her brothers Francesco and Bruno are in charge of viticulture and production.
