Our chairman Marcel van Poecke is pleased to announce the appointment of Pier Giuseppe D’Alessandro as new General Manager of the company. He will replace Federico Trost who has decided to take-on a new challenge after five years at the helm of Poggio Antico; the board and the team thank Federico for his personal involvement and the accomplishments achieved under his leadership. All wish him the best in his new endeavours.
Pier Giuseppe is a highly experienced, successful, and well-regarded technical director who conducted all the agricultural and winemaking key-evolutions of the property over the past five years: transition to organic farming, detailed analysis of the vineyard geology, reorganization of the vineyard through a significant replanting program, precise plot-by-plot management, evolution of the cultural practices, … A good example and expression of this qualitative evolution and research of excellence will be revealed through the launch of “I Poggi” early next year, a single vineyard selection issued from very expressive terroirs.
Pier Giuseppe will lead Poggio Antico’s permanent research of excellence with humility and in full respect of nature, helped by a dedicated and motivated team; numerous new projects are currently underway in this respect.
The Board and the team are proud of this natural evolution in direct continuity of the history of Poggio Antico and look forward to working on the next stages to obtain the best expression of our terroir and produce high-end fine wines.
