Luca Curreli - Managing Director
Born and raised in Genoa, I graduated in Maritime Transport Economics.
After my studies I started working in the Supply Chain sector and services dedicated to the international shipping of luxury goods, linked to the pleasure and commercial marine industry.
I have always been fascinated by the world of "wine" and all its faces. Out of natural curiosity and with the aim of getting closer to this environment in more depth, ten years ago I took part in the ONAV Tasters Course and over the years in various educational tastings, mostly organized by the association itself.

Alessandro Kaiser - Export manager
Despite being a Swiss-German, on my mother's side I have Langhe in my blood.With a surname of Fenoglio comes a great passion and knowledge of Piedmont wines.
I have a degree in Business Administration and work in Compliance and Risk Management for numerous companies. My love affair with Scotland is thanks to my wife who is from Edinburgh.
Always fascinated by the supply chain and logistics, I wanted to combine skills and life experiences by contributing to the establishment of Duck Wines to better introduce Italian wines abroad.

Peter Rassa - UK Specialist
I started my professional career in recruitment and training in London.
When I fell for my Italian wife I forged a new life in Academia at IQS University (Barcelona). However, the pull of Italy was too hard to resist and eventually we relocated to Genoa.
It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with the gastronomy and of course the wine. I regularly send local produce to my UK network of friends.
So when the opportunity came to establish Duck Wines I embraced the project wholeheartedly and hope to share the delights of these amazing local wineries with you.
