Founder & Winemaking Consultant
Salvatore Leone
Our Founder, Salvatore, is an independent winemaking consultant from Sicily with 24 years of experience and 38 vintages behind him. His career has spanned seven countries across both hemispheres, encompassing a wide range of climates, grape varieties, and winemaking philosophies—from boutique, hands-on projects to global productions of up to 25 million bottles per year. Along the way, he has worked with renowned names including Pernod Ricard, Leasingham, and Bodega Familia Zuccardi.
For the past 13 years he has been advising and shaping projects on English soil. Salvatore directs the winemaking, making key decisions, defining the identity of every project with integrity and intent. His approach is grounded in deep experience, quiet wisdom, and rare humility—allowing site and season to speak while guiding each wine to its full potential.

Assistant Winemaker
Molly Tawse
British-born Molly brings a rare breadth of perspective to the team. A former sommelier at the acclaimed wine bar and restaurant Noble Rot, a wine writer for publications including BYOB, and now an Assistant Winemaker, she combines a strong theoretical foundation through the WSET Diploma with hands-on experience in both France and England, giving her a grounded understanding of wine from vineyard to glass. Her experience spans the full spectrum of the wine world, from production and cellar operations to communication and sales.
Equally comfortable in the cellar and behind the scenes, Molly brings a sharp eye for detail, a thoughtful approach to winemaking, and a calm, practical mindset to every stage of production. She plays an integral role in bringing each vintage to life, combining practical experience, a broad knowledge of wine, and a deep appreciation for the wines she helps create.
