Speaker Bio
With over ten years of experience at Santa Margherita USA, Aga has brought American consumers the joy of some of the best Italian wine regions. Her passion for wine culture began with visits to European wine regions, where she discovered the true meaning of the Italian lifestyle, filled with conviviality toward wine, food, and fashion.
Aga's studies in Business, Marketing, and Fashion from Warsaw to NYC and her agricultural background deepened her knowledge of terroir, wine styles, consumer trends, and global markets. She is a Certified Sommelier with the Court of Master Sommeliers. She completed her Diploma in Wines with Merit from Wine & Spirits Education Trust in London, achieving some of its highest global scores and being awarded a prize by an Italian Consorzio. Aga is currently a student at the Institute of Masters of Wine.
Since 2014, she has been an integral part of the Santa Margherita USA team, working inter-departmentally with the Operations, Marketing, and Commercial teams while actively telling the story of our portfolio of wines, where tradition and innovation go hand in hand.
Today, as our Wine Educator, Aga proudly represents and provides ongoing knowledge for our mosaic of wine brands: Santa Margherita, Ca' del Bosco, Ca' Maiol, Fattoria Sardi, Kettmeir, Lamole di Lamole, Masi, Cantina Mesa, ROCO, Giovanni Rosso, Sassoregale, Sella Antica, and Torresella.
