Let’s introduce ourselves
In this section, you will be able to meet all the staff of the Drusian winery. We are the ones who answer the phone and your emails, harvest, control the fermentation, bottle, and ship the wine!
We are colleagues, but even before that, we are friends with the same goal: to give you a high quality product, the result of a lot of passion and love for our work.
1.
FRANCESCO DRUSIAN
Winery owner
Francesco is the founder of the Drusian winery. He has been guiding it with love and passion since 1988 and he personally follows all the work of his employees.
In particular, he cares about the activities in the vineyards, where all starts to produce his Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG sparkling wine.
For his staff members, Francesco is like a father. He welcomes everyone with a smile: with him, you can discuss all the issues related to the development of his company.

MARIKA BERTELLE
Sales Italy and Back Office
Marika has been working faithfully at Drusian for more than twenty years. She knows every corner and detail of the winery. She can do anything, other than… uncorking a bottle of sparkling wine!
After all, she must have a flaw!

BARBARA BRUSTOLIN
Foreign Office and Customer Care
Sometimes, we wonder if Barbara has superpowers.
If you don’t remember which wine you bought, she will be able to tell you not only the type, the batch, and the date of bottling but also the time of purchase!

We esteem (and fear) her for her boundless memory, but above all for the dedication and precision she puts into everything she is responsible for. Its weakness?? Sweets.

ELISA BACELIN
ADMINISTRATION OFFICE
Arriving at Drusian after a solid experience in administration, Elisa manages numbers and deadlines with precision, ensuring that the accounts balance correctly.
Always ready to face new challenges, she finds practical and effective solutions, maintaining calm and control even in the most complex situations. When she manages to disconnect from work, she dedicates herself to sports. In her free time, she loves being outdoors, enjoying long, refreshing walks in our hills. For her, the motto “mens sana in corpore sano” is truly a way of life!

ILARIA MILANESE
PR, Marketing and Communication
It is not true that, inside a winery, we talk exclusively about wine. Of course, it is the undisputed protagonist, but many other aspects are involved, from the most technical to the creative.
Art and wine have an ancient and deep bond. Together, they give life to a synergistic cultural expression. Making wine is an art, and art has always taken inspiration from this “poetry of the earth” to be expressed through images. This is exactly Ilaria’s job at Drusian: she takes care of the winery through images and words. Her goal is to make the winery known from new points of view, which can also give emotions. She loves photography as much as she loves the heat. A sunny day always puts Ilaria in a good mood, along with the music.
6.
MARIA VIDALLI
Hospitality and Sales
Maria has been working in the world of wine for ten years. For her, wine is not only a pleasure to share with friends but also a passion that she tries to instill in all the people visiting the winery.
At Drusian, she is in charge of hospitality and sales. She loves our land, where she lives in close contact with nature, the authentic generator of goodness and beauty.
7.
ENRICO VACCARI
Telematic Registers Manager
After graduating in “Viticulture and Oenology Sciences and Technologies,” Enrico embarked on his journey in the workforce with various experiences in wineries, eventually arriving at Drusian.
Despite the distance, his deep passion for wine has led him to the beautiful Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, where he currently manages bulk and bottled wines electronically within our team. Enrico is such a calm person that if the world were to collapse, he would probably just move a little further away with a serene smile on his face. But don’t be fooled by his calm demeanor: in his work, he skillfully navigates numbers and statistics, while in his free time, he transforms into a true rockstar, passionately playing the electric guitar in a band with friends!
8.
MARCO SPIRONELLI
Winemaker
After his studies in “Viticultural and Oenological Sciences and Technologies”, Marco became a winemaker at Drusian.
He follows the grapes all over the production process: from the moment they are unloaded from the truck till they become sparkling wine ready to be bottled. During the harvest, he is under pressure: he also personally carries out the analyses necessary to control the quality of the wine, which is essential for the success of our product.
He is passionate about good food. In his free time, he goes on porcini mushroom hunting in the mountains. He also likes to discover new traditional dishes to pair with our Valdobbiadene DOCG or other Italian wines that he likes to try.

MASSIMO CIOT
WAREHOUSEMAN
Massimo is responsible of our warehouse, which is located in a separate location from the winery.
He manages cartons, delivery notes, and bottles, prepares orders for shipment, and loads/unloads pallets that arrive via carriers, sometimes with the help of a forklift. In his free time, he practices a very dynamic and unique sport: he participates in burraco tournaments, a card game that has recently become popular in our area. Although his work at Drusian is peaceful, sometimes loneliness knocks at the door… but as the saying goes, better alone than in bad company!
10.
ANDREA GALLINA
Production and Logistics Manager
At Drusian, Andrea is responsible for planning, coordinating, and directing bottling activities as well as logistics.
Precise and meticulous, he follows directly the maintenance of the production plant. He also manages the personnel working in the facility. He would like to solve problems as fast as he whizzes around with his beloved motorcycle! He is very efficient, and he does it in the shortest possible time! Is he a superhero? Probably not, but he is very dedicated to his job and always ready to face new challenges.
11.
GABRIELE MEROTTO
Bottling plant operator
Do you know Guido, the forklift from the Cars movie? Gabriele is just like him!
Working at Drusian for a very long time, he likes to whizz around with his forklift to load and unload the pallets at the winery. He dreams of making an authentic pit stop one day, but not the one at the Ferrari race… he thinks about retirement!
He is responsible for the packaging machines. When it’s harvest time, he helps manage the grapes unloading. He cannot stay still; he is always ready to help his colleagues in case of need. At the end of the shift, sometimes he goes out with them and enjoys a good aperitif!

GIOVANNI POZZOBON
Bottling plant operator
Our Jonny, as we like to call him, takes care of the most operational part of the winery: he follows the entire bottling process, from the control of the machine to the preparation of the materials necessary for the operation.
An ex-scout leader, he took his job at Drusian as an opportunity to appreciate different facets of his duties, a bit like when he and his boys, with technical and methodological competence, found new ways of discerning the beauty and the good in life.
13.
GIULIO BORNìA
Sales Manager Italy
Giulio’s determination and commitment make him a cornerstone for the sales force in Italy and for Drusian clients, with whom he spends a lot of time on the phone, when he’s not visiting them in person!
Back from his business trips, he likes to do sports and play music in his spare time. His motto? “There are no problems, only opportunities!”
14.
EMILIO COMPAGNO
Northern Italy Agents Manager
Emilio’s experience in the sales sector dates back to 1980, and since 2018, he has been the area manager for agents in Northern Italy at Drusian.
His motto, “the glass is never half full nor half empty, but ready to drink!”, reflects his life and work philosophy, which is focused on optimism and proactivity.
Emilio is very determined to achieve his goals, but when he’s not in sales mode, he transforms into a sailor, his great passion. “There is no favorable wind for those who don’t know where to go,” he says, with the wisdom of a seasoned sailor who knows that even the highest waves are better faced with a clear course.
The words that best describe Emilio? #chebelcampà!

CARLO FAGANELLO
Export Manager
Like the bubbles in our sparkling wines, Carlo is a true force of nature: always on the move and always ready to explore new opportunities!
With an innate passion for travel and discovering international markets, he dedicates himself with enthusiasm and professionalism to promoting Drusian products worldwide. In his free time, he loves to immerse himself in different cultures and make new friends, experiences that not only inspire him but also enrich his daily work. Working at Drusian for Carlo means living in a vibrant atmosphere, full of energy and always with a touch of elegance. Every day is a toast to his passion for wine, an invitation to celebrate taste, togetherness, and discovery.

TEAM VIGNA
Vineyard managers team
Producing wine, as we all know, starts from the land, and who better than our team of powerful guys can take care of it?
Anthony, Remo, Colombo and Andrea are the ones who carry out all the manual work necessary for the vineyard maintenance.
Anthony, Remo, Colombo and Andrea are the ones who carry out all the manual work necessary for the vineyard maintenance.
For them, cutting the grass on our steep slopes is kid’s play! Matteo, instead, is the “Ultimate Tractor Driver”: who would have thought he could drive the tractor so well on our impervious hills!?
Finally, there are Enrico and Alessandro, long-time tractor drivers and handymen at Drusian: they take care of all the tasks related to the vineyards and the countryside. Alessandro is also the team leader and spokesperson of the group. He has everything under control: with great attention and dedication, he coordinates the activities of each member of the team. Teamwork is great because it helps create harmony among members. In fact, they always try to help each other as a real team and in summer, after a long hard week under the sun, they treat themselves to the luxury of a dip in the pool, kindly offered by Anthony!
