Giuseppe Amato

Founder, Winemaker
Certified Sommelier and Certified Wine Taster from the Italian Association of Sommelier.
Giuseppe has always been attracted by the world of gastronomy and attended many cooking classes as a hobby. Motivated by his curiosity to learn how to pair food with wine, a few years ago he started taking sommelier courses. He entered the world of wine almost as a teetotaler, but then it happened; he fell in love with the entire world of wine, starting to appreciate its history, quality, and study more and more. Soon he felt the need to go beyond the wine tasting experience and understand the soul of the wine; in brief, to make it. Since he doesn’t originate from a family of winemakers, he decided to buy a vineyard, and so, it happened that the first vineyard was bought on a website specializing in used things! Yes, you read that correctly. It was half a hectare of abandoned and shabby Nebbiolo. That's how Valdisole was born back in 2015.

Kyriaki Kalimeri

Certified Sommelier from the Italian Association of Sommelier.
Kyriaki is an electronic and computer engineer who entered the world of wine simply out of curiosity. What began as an intellectual exploration soon became a personal and professional path, leading her to earn her sommelier certification and to approach wine as a complex system shaped by land, time, and human choices.
She met Giuseppe when Valdisole was still more a dream than a reality and has been part of the project since its earliest stages. Within Valdisole, Kyriaki is both the most demanding and the most critical voice, constantly challenging each wine to express clarity, balance, and identity.
Her main role focuses on communication and branding, shaping the way Valdisole is told and perceived, while maintaining coherence between what happens in the vineyard, the cellar, and the bottle.
Kyriaki also signs a single wine: Elektra, a Malvasia Moscata vinified in amphorae. This choice is deeply personal—both Kyriaki and Malvasia Moscata originate from Sparta, Greece—creating a symbolic bridge between heritage, experimentation, and place.
