i. Biography
Ferruccio Deiana founded Azienda Vitivinicola Ferruccio Deiana in Settimo San Pietro in 1990.
Today
Formal study at Scuola Enologica di Conegliano (Treviso) (1969) gave Ferruccio Deiana a technical frame for work that would later be shaped in the trade itself. The next two decades were spent in commercial roles — salesman in the wine trade (1969–1990) and bulk wine broker (until 1990) — where the work was less about display than about reading wine in circulation: how it is sold, evaluated, and moved through the market. Azienda Vitivinicola Ferruccio Deiana, founded in Settimo San Pietro in 1990, sits on top of that background. The winery marks the point where years of buying, selling, and handling wine became a house built under his own name and by his own standards. Seen in that context, the estate is less a break from the trade than its consolidation into one place. The line from school to sales floor to brokerage to winery is the core of Ferruccio Deiana’s work. Scuola Enologica di Conegliano (Treviso) (1969) supplied the foundation, the years as salesman in the wine trade (1969–1990) and as a bulk wine broker (until 1990) supplied daily experience, and the founding of Azienda Vitivinicola Ferruccio Deiana in 1990 brought those parts together in Settimo San Pietro. The result is a producer identity built from long familiarity with the business of wine.
Signature
Ferruccio’s signature wines include Arvali, Sileno, Karel, Pluminus, and Ajana. Those wines are the clearest markers of the house Ferruccio Deiana built at Azienda Vitivinicola Ferruccio Deiana. Arvali, Sileno, Karel, Pluminus, and Ajana are the names through which the estate’s identity is most directly read, and they anchor the work in Settimo San Pietro after 1990. Together, they show the shift from trade knowledge to a defined producer line, with each wine carrying the winery’s own register.
