The Founders
You don't build a reputation to sell wine. You make wine. The rest follows.
Two complementary profiles. One shared conviction
Two men. One shared conviction: that Geneva could produce a great wine. Not just a nice local wine. A wine that has nothing to envy anyone.
Damien Simone – Oenologist
No family estate. No inheritance. Just a rigorous training at Changins and years spent learning to know the Geneva terroir in order to sublimate it.He tends the vines alone, crafts each cuvée with precision. A judge in the most demanding competitions in the wine world (Sélection des Vins de Genève, Concours Général Agricole de Paris, Grand Prix des Vins Suisses, International Wine Challenge in London), he knows excellence. The kind you find in his own wine.
Natalio Cano – Sales & Export
He structures, weaves connections, opens doors. He ensures that every bottle finds the table it deserves: restaurateurs, wine merchants, export markets. Rigorous, methodical, deeply invested in the estate's success.
A single goal: putting Geneva on the map
Together, they chose Russin. Not by default, but by conviction. An appellation with some of the strictest rules in the canton, on slopes that give no quarter. Here, nothing is easy. That is exactly what they came looking for.
