    Acclaim

    The clearest recognition attached to Ivan Giovanett is the responsibility of directing viticulture and production at Castelfeder in Kurtinig, Italy. That post signals confidence in his judgment across two linked disciplines: the management of the vineyard and the control of production. In a house like Castelfeder, that kind of role is not decorative; it is the working proof of trust in the consistency and standard of the wines.

    The Path

    The path here is one of range rather than narrow specialization. As winemaker and director of viticulture/production at Castelfeder, Ivan Giovanett’s work connects cultivation to cellar practice, with the vineyard setting the terms for what production can do with the fruit. The line of work runs from the ground up: reading growth and balance in the vines, then carrying that material through the decisions that shape style and quality.

    The Work Today

    Viticulture/production at Castelfeder means a single responsibility stretched across the full year. Ivan Giovanett works between the rows and the cellar, where the pace changes but the standard does not: attention to the season in the vineyard, and precision in the practical work of production. The role asks for oversight and direct engagement at once, with each choice adding to the final shape of the vintage.
