Pasqua Wines Welcomes Andrea Pasqua as Head of Business Development, Marking a New Chapter in the Family's Leadership

Verona, October 15th, 2025 – Pasqua Wines is pleased to announce the appointment of Andrea Pasqua as Head of Business Development, further reinforcing the family's leadership within the company. Andrea joins after contributing to recent strategic projects, including partnerships with American producer Charles Smith in Washington State and Carole Bouquet in Pantelleria, Italy.

A member of the Pasqua Wines Board of Directors since 2020, Andrea will play a key role in guiding the company's strategic direction and growth trajectory. His appointment highlights Pasqua's commitment to its future and to maintaining a strong family-led leadership structure, alongside his father Umberto Pasqua, Chairman, and brothers Riccardo Pasqua, CEO, and Alessandro Pasqua, Chairman of Pasqua USA.

In his new role, Andrea will oversee strategic partnerships and business expansion, helping accelerate Pasqua Wines' ambitious growth plans. The winery's centenary year, 2025, has already marked two major milestones: becoming the exclusive international distributor (outside of the US) of the House of Smith collections by Charles Smith, and acquiring a majority stake in Sangue d'Oro, Carole Bouquet's acclaimed winery in Pantelleria. Both initiatives, now moving into their operational phase, have benefited from Andrea's strategic insight and leadership.

Andrea, 35, brings a strong academic foundation and extensive experience in the global wine and luxury sectors. After earning a degree in Business Economics and Management from Bocconi University in Milan, he completed a Master's in International Management at IE Business School in Madrid, followed by an executive program at the London School of Economics. His first exposure to the industry came through an internship at Chatman Imports in New York, sparking his passion for wine. He began his career in finance at Rothschild & Co. in Milan, working on mergers and acquisitions in the consumer and luxury goods sectors, before joining LVMH in 2014.

After completing his Master's degree in Madrid, he returned to Italy and, in 2014, joined the leading luxury goods group LVMH, working with several brands in Moët Hennessy's Wine & Spirits division. For four years, he was brand manager for brands such as Krug, Ruinart and the MH Wine Estates division. Thanks to his performance and experience, Andrea moved to Paris at the beginning of 2019 to work at the Group's headquarters, first in the Global Distribution team, where he was involved in distribution and business development projects, and then in the M&A & Strategy team, overseeing the acquisitions and integrations of various brands including Chateau d'Esclans, Armand de Brignac, Joseph Phelps Vineyards and Chateau Minuty.

"I'm honored to contribute directly to the growth of our family business," says Andrea Pasqua. "Having participated in strategic decisions as a board member while building a global perspective through my experience at LVMH, I'm now eager to bring my enthusiasm, experience, and dedication fully to Pasqua Wines."

Umberto Pasqua, Chairman of Pasqua Wines, adds: "We are delighted to welcome Andrea into a more operational role. His international experience and strategic mindset will be instrumental as we embrace new challenges and continue building on the boldness and determination that define our family."
