Portrait of Cosimo Bisiach
i. Biography
Cosimo Bisiach’s work is defined by range and control: executive roles, financial stewardship, and an attention to place that now centers on Podere Marella in Castiglione del Lago. At that estate, Trebbiano Spoletino is not a side note but a marker of the craft around him, and the grape has become one of the clearest ways his practice is understood.
The Path
Leadership is the throughline in the career of Cosimo Bisiach. He served as chief executive officer at Julius Baer Sim, then as chief executive officer at Alha Sim, and later as chief executive officer at Etra Sim. Each role required the same core skills: judgment under pressure, clear decisions, and the ability to carry responsibility without excess. Since 2013, that discipline has also been present in his work as senior private banker of BSI, where trust and discretion are part of the daily grammar. Alongside that position, his role as manager of Podere Marella brings his attention to an estate where land and identity are held together through practical work.
