1st May 2024 | Update 18th July 2024 | Here we are! Here are the hands behind our wines and our extra virgin olive oils, here are the eyes that look after your stay at Poggiopiano for a few days or a few hours…here’s Poggiopiano Team!
Giuseppe
Origins from Livorno. His place is on the tractor, but the excavator is the most fun for him! For more than 10 years he has been working in the vineyards and olive groves of Poggiopiano as if he were in his own garden.
In the Poggiopiano family since 2011.
Luciano
Florentine origins. A real handyman: all of Poggiopiano’s fences and poolside gazebos are his work. The number one with the lawnmower and brushcutter! He is not afraid of the early hours: in summer he arrives at Poggiopiano at dawn to take advantage of the cooler moments of the hot summer days.
In the Poggiopiano family since 2010.
Elia
Albanian origins. A fast and tireless worker, he looks after the vineyards, olive groves and garden. To everyone he meets, he always reserves a sincere smile!
In the Poggiopiano family since 2023.
Cumba
Senegalese origins. In the vineyard and in the olive grove, he is an asset we could not do without. He works for his family, he works for our family.
In the Poggiopiano family since 2021.
Marco
Origins from Fiesole. Graduated as a winemaker at Florence Uniiveristy, guitarist in his freetime. You will find him in the cellar, you will meet him at some events. Every bottle passes through his hands at least once! Of few words, but his great dedication to his work says a lot…
In the Poggiopiano family since 2020.
Lili
Peruvian origins. Thoughtful and careful: nothing gets past her when it comes to cleaning and she doesn’t give up until everything is in order!
In the Poggiopiano family since 2024.
Marita
Peruvian origins. She looks after the cleanliness and tidiness of the rooms and appartments every Sunday. Tireless and persevering. She loves Poggiopiano and you can see this in her work!
In the Poggiopiano family since 2021.
Rachele
Florentine origins. She landed at Poggiopiano with an internship and immediately felt part of the team!
In the kitchen, at breakfast, at the reception: you’ll find her everywhere in our Agriturismo and on all these occasions she will know how to pamper you in pure Poggiopiano style.
In the Poggiopiano family since 2023.
Shada
A student of the Master of Italian Wines and World Markets at the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in Pisa, she chose Poggiopiano for her internship.
Just graduated Sommelier, she is curious to approach the world of food and wine hospitality and at Poggiopiano we are proud to have her on the team for this season!
Elena
Florentine origins. She prepares breakfastevery morning with love and pampers guests staying at the Agriturismo. Homemade cakes and muffins are all her work. Her hands are also behind the tasty local food platters that we serve to Guests and Visitors!
In the Poggiopiano family since 2020.
Cristina
Origins from Pontassieve. Studies in tourism, experience in commerce and a Sommelier course done out of passion, now – unexpectedly but happily! – come together at Poggiopiano. Her smile welcomes you at the reception and for your tastings at the Agriturismo!
In the Poggiopiano family since 2024.
Martina
That’s me! I call myself an all-rounder! Graduated as a winemaker at Florence University, passionate about languages, different cultures and food.
I feel more comfortable with my hands and shoes dirty than with mascara and high heels.
Elisabetta
Poggiopiano’s Art Director! Mauro’s right-hand. Fluent in 3 languages, she is delighted by a beautiful landscape, in front of her favourite yellow roses, watching our Guests leave with a relaxed face and smile, sipping a good wine in the garden while cuddling her cats…
Mauro
Last in this list, but certainly not least: without him Poggiopiano would not exist! Engeneering studies, mechanic by passion, winegrower and olive grower by choice. In 1985 he had a vision that led him to transform every family plot into true jewels that he still looks after together with the entire Poggiopiano team, without ever losing his critical eye and curiosity…
P.S. in these photos we are beautiful, but in person even more so: all you have to do is visit us at Poggiopiano!
To find out how, visit the ‘tastings and activities’ page of this website.
We look forward to meeting your smiles too 🙂
