Portrait of Ezio Poggio

i. Biography

Ezio Poggio works in Vignole Borbera as an oenologist, with the family winery still organized around a third-generation winemaker’s eye for the vine, the cellar, and Timorasso. The craft here is continuity without autopilot: a line of work shaped by inherited responsibility, but judged day by day through what the fruit, the site, and the wine will bear.

Coming Up

Early work as an oenologist in Vignole Borbera put Ezio Poggio inside the same practical framework that later defined his role as third generation winemaker managing the family winery at Ezio Poggio in Vignole Borbera, Italy. The progression is straightforward: technical training, then stewardship, with the estate itself as the constant point of reference. Vignole Borbera is not backdrop here; it is the working ground that anchors the wines and the decisions behind them.

Where They Are Now

Poggio remains the oenologist at the winery in Vignole Borbera, with Timorasso at the center of the cellar’s attention. That focus gives the work its tempo: vineyard decisions, cellar choices, and the maintenance of a grape identity that has to be built season by season. His own words keep the order clear: “The research for a quality product begins in the vineyard with an attentive and sustainable care.” The point is not rhetoric; it is process, and the vineyard is where that process starts. He adds another practical detail: “Most of the vineyard work is made by hand.” In trade terms, that means labor that depends on observation, consistency, and touch. It is a working method that leaves less to machinery and more to judgment, which is often how family wineries keep character intact over time.
