The prestigious Vinoway Awards Commision has named our enologist Dr. Jacopo Vagaggini as the Best Young Italian enologist 2023. We look forward to the awards ceremony on October 21st at Castello Monaci Resort.
Jacopo Vagaggini was born with a passion for wine: His family has been successful enologists for three generations. After a high-level study and a doctorate at Oxford and the University of Bordeaux, he dedicated himself to experimental research, gaining experience in Europe and also in Argentina, before returning to the terroir at the bottom of Monte Amiata to live his own wine philosophy. Together with his father, “Mr. Sangiovese” Paolo Vagaggini, he runs a large laboratory in Siena.
Jacopo Vagaggini strives for the ideal of a modern, elegant wine that respects and cultivates the unique identity of its terroir. We at Otto Ettari are proud and grateful to have enologist Dr. Jacopo Vagaggini accompany us on our journey.
