ELENA
D'Aquanno
CEO
Neapolitan, resident in Pesaro, Senese in heart and genetics.
The entrepreneur Elena D’ Aquanno, by her own admission, acted with “reason and feeling” when she gathered around a table a group of entrepreneurs who could care about the fate of Enoteca Italiana Siena at least as much as she did.
A heartfelt choice, dictated by a promise made to grandfather Pietro, among the corresponding Œnologists of the renowned Italian Academy of Vine and Wine and awarded by it, who told her about Siena and its beautiful Enoteca.
A rational choice, guided by a precise entrepreneurial strategy that aims to invest in the territory of Siena and its original riches (for the Tuscany region alone, the wine supply chain produces an export turnover of 690 million euros in 2022).

"IL GIRASOLE"
Il Girasole was born almost twenty years ago from the desire of the owner Massimo Caroti to travel and discover hidden corners, ancient villages, landscapes and flavors of the Tuscan territory. Fully seizing the wave of the first foreign tourism passionate about food, wine and hidden treasures forgotten by the main directions of mass tourism, the company specializes in organizing tours so that foreign guests could experience the wonders of entire Tuscan territory, passing from the cities of art to the most important wine-growing realities.
It is in this context that the company crosses paths with Enoteca Italiana Siena, an obligatory stop on every tour to allow the foreign guest to explore the enormous variety of excellent wine products in the largest Enoteca of Italy. With a view to diversifying the offer and “throwing its heart beyond the obstacle”, the company has wholeheartedly embraced the relaunch and rebirth project of Enoteca Italiana Siena, playing a key role in the group of entrepreneurs who aim to relaunche the brand.
