i. Biography
The Path
University study at the University of Verona gave Alessandro Nogara a formal base before the work became operational. In 2015, management of wineries in Southern Italy at Gruppo Italiano Vini in Southern Italy placed him inside the day-to-day mechanics of wine production, where process and timing shape the outcome as much as the vineyard does. The role set a practical pace early and tied his development to the realities of scale, coordination, and control. Laboratory work at Cantina Santi in Illasi began in 2016, and the shift to the cellar’s analytical side sharpened the focus further. As a laboratory technician, Alessandro Nogara worked in the space where detail carries weight and consistency has to be earned, not assumed. The path then reached director of Cantina Santi in Illasi in 2026, a rise that stayed anchored to one estate while expanding in scope.
