More about today’s guest

Margherita represents the third generation of Ferruccio Sgubin Winery in Collio, Friuli-Venezia Giulia. After completing her studies in Business Management & Administration, she started to work at her family’s winery, and it was during this time that she discovered her passion for wines. In fact, it was not written that she would have ended up there as she has always considered to keep different options open.

It was by taking part to different wine fairs and events, meeting with wine people, the sharing of experiences and opinions that triggered her curiosity and made her wanted to learn more. Therefore, a few months later she moved to France and started her MSc program in Wine Management in Burgundy. Spending one year of her life there was a priceless experience not only in terms of the knowledge gained, but also because of the opportunities of meeting other people from the industry such as producers, professionals, and other wine lovers. Learning about different point of views, perspectives, and approaches to wine was like putting all pieces together, and contributed to build her idea of wine and helped her to take awareness of the challenges related to the sector.

Even if the ultimate goal is that of returning home to work in her family’s winery, she is currently exploring opportunities to gain experience elsewhere, particularly in the fields of marketing and communication. She indeed envisions herself taking charge of conveying an authentic image of their company, making sure it reflects the values and philosophy behind it effectively.
