Or better said, who is behind it? We are a big family, with different characteristics and our own roles, but each one essential to achieve the quality that has always distinguished us. This is us, our ‘extended family’, those who work every day to produce the wine you pick for your special moments. We want to make you feel at home and welcome you among us!

“I have worked with grapes and vines since I was a child, starting at the age of 14 in my grandfather’s cellar and fell in love with this world. In 1973, I made my first harvest as a winemaker and have not stopped since. I have been retired for some time now, but I still supervise every department and if there is need, I’d love to help them out.

Maculan is my mission, I’ve never worked in any other place and I don’t even imagine myself doing so. I like being in contact with people and creating wine, taking care of all the passages After all, it’s what I do best.”

“I grew up in the winery, but since 1997 I have been travelling around Italy and the world to represent the company and our wines. Today I am the export Manager and I am proud to make my family and our wines known all over the world. Maculan for me is roots and flight tickets.

In our wines I see my family and our history, but also the journeys, the new places discovered and the new people met. The memory I cherish the most is the joy of our customers when they taste Maculan wines, I remember them all, from the first trip to the USA with dad to the last plane we took.”

“I have been officially working in the company since 2007: the winery has always been my second home: I used to play in the tanks and do my homework in the office. Today I supervise the winery at 360 degrees: from production to the vineyards, from the cellar to the suppliers, to coordinating the employees. Maculan for me is both duty and pleasure: ever since I was a child, I imagined myself doing daddy’s work. I am lucky enough to do what I like, but I ask myself and the entire Maculan staff for care and attention, because every harvest is different and the tasks are the same, but at the same time new.

It is difficult to choose the most beautiful memory, perhaps those linked to childhood, when working was a game, like when I hosted my first guided tour for my classmates.”
