For many winery owners, the idea of switching to new technology can be intimidating. You don’t want to lose the traditional way of doing things, and that’s completely understandable.

But today, technology isn’t just a support—it’s become an essential part of running a successful winery. It helps automate everyday tasks so you have more time to focus on what matters most: creating great wine. 

Here’s how you can start:

	1.	Think about where you’re spending the most time: Is it manually writing down orders, 
                 organizing customer contacts, or checking your stock levels? That’s a good place to start.

	2.	Pick user-friendly tools: Look for tools that don’t need a lot of training, like simple software to 
                manage sales or apps to track your barrels.

	3.	Experiment with one task: Start with just one thing—maybe a digital order system—and see how 
                it improves your day.

	4.	Get your team involved: Let them try the new tools at their own pace and show them how it 
                 makes their job easier.

You don’t need to overhaul everything. A few small changes can make a big difference, without losing the heart of your winery.

President

As a results-oriented professional with a MS in Economics (Politica Economica) and an MBA from Bocconi, I bring a unique blend of strategic thinking, analytical prowess, and a passion for data-driven decision-making. My >20 y.o. career in consulting and banking has equipped me with a robust skill set, which I am eager to leverage in a new and challenging role.

I currently serve as a VP at UniCredit, where I specialize in global sales for cash management and international payment solutions. My mission is to deliver value-added services and products to our clients, leveraging deep expertise in business intelligence, data mining, and complex modeling.

I am deeply committed to continuous learning and personal growth, consistently seeking opportunities to expand my expertise. My strong numerical analysis skills and ability to translate data into actionable insights have been key in driving successful outcomes in my previous roles. Known for my strategic mindset, I am confident in making bold, calculated decisions that align with long-term objectives.

In addition to my professional skills, I have a deep passion for the wine industry, being both passionate and literate in the field. This personal interest complements my professional life, adding a layer of cultural depth and perspective.  I am an avid enotourist, having traveled to dozens of wine regions across Europe for both work & leisure.

Outside of work, I am a proud husband and father, and my family life enriches my cultural perspective and drives my commitment to success both personally and professionally. I have a passion for cooking and enjoy sharing a glass of wine with friends. In my spare time, I love trekking in the Alps, which allows me to connect with nature and recharge.
