98 Act III / Poggio al Tesoro, the Men and the Women 99 Act III / Poggio al Tesoro, the Men and the Women «Marrico is an extremely logical and rational man, but he is also someone who throws his entire heart into what he does. And it is thanks to these gifts that he is capable of finding solutions to problems which are new far from his specific sphere of competence despite the fact that he is not a technician». It is oeonolgoist Nicola Biasi who is speaking now and is recounting his relationship with his colleague and what Poggio al Tesoro means to him. «I nerf to say that Marrico has a strong character, he is a decision maker, and we resemble one another in this trait, but he knows how to take advantage of this “weakness”, if we want to use this definition, adjusting it to the needs of our working group and of the estate. Franco Dal Colle, instead, has a very wide experience in the world of wine and I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that he is one of the finest agronomists with whom I have ever had the chance to work. From the human point of view, however, he is a fantastic human being, and in fact his character and his open-mindedness help him to have an excellent rapport with everyone with whom he works. What all of us have in common is the fact that we consider our professional lives at Poggio al Tesoro more a passion than a job. Together we talk a lot and in a very open way; every decision about the vineyards, the cellar, and the direction of the estate is discussed and shared in the most open possible way, face to face; this is truly a continual search for contact with one another, of an exchange of opinions and the discussions go on everywhere, amidst the vines, in front of the casks, at the dining table. Each of us, naturally, has the final word on the decisions which concern his part of the work, but the decisions themselves are always the result of a frank and constructive exchange of ideas. For me it is essential to be able to count on this type of working rapport in my work because, for me, Poggio al Tesoro represents an important human and professional challenge, the challenge of a young and dynamic estate which, humbly but with great determination, certain of its openness and the quality it has to offer, wishes to openly compete with certain superstars of the world’s wines. A tough job, but our estate and its staff, working together as one man, thanks to this sense of Above: Nicola Biasi “... our professional lives at Poggio al Tesoro more a passion than a job. ...” “... Poggio al Tesoro represents an important human and professional challenge ...”
