Cesare Panti is entrusted with the management of the estate. Together with Giulio Carmassi, our agronomist/enologist, he is also responsible for the production of our wines and olive oil. Not only was Cesare’s father already an enologist in Poggibonsi, but Cesare himself tended for many years the wine cellars of Teruzzi & Puthod in San Gimignano. Thus, Cesare ideally combines professional skill with exceptional dedication.

Giulio Carmassi obtained his Masters degree in Agronomy and Enology at the Universities of Pisa and Turin. His great passion and motivation enabled himto gain practical experience in some of the most renowned wineries, such as Isola & Olena in the Chianti Classico region and The Hartford Family Wine Estate in California. Due to his big scientific interest he was then able to improve his enological skills by joining an international team of young researchers at Washington State University under the guidance of Prof. Markus Keller. After finishing this program he joined our Gagliole team a few years ago and became responsible together with Cesare for the care of our vineyards and the production of our wines and oliveoil.
