Gabriele Cescon was born in Fontanelle, a small town just 3 miles from the Maschio winery. He grew up in a winemaking family, which inspired him to study enology at the prestigious G.B. Cerletti Enological School of Conegliano.

Once he finished his studies, he immediately began his work and training in local companies, thus gaining important experience in everything related to “cellar life”, from the technical-bureaucratic aspects to the transformation of grapes into must and wine. In 1988 he joined the team at Cantine Maschio and as he says, “a dream came true there, since it is a company that produces sparkling wines, the highest aspiration of every enologist”.

At Maschio Gabriele made is way up the ranks and achieved the position of Director and Winemaker of Cantine Maschio in 2008. In addition, his passion for sparkling wine drove him to become part of the Board of Directors at the Consorzio del Prosecco DOC and to become a member of the Technical Commission of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG Consortium. He never misses an opportunity to carry out experiments, to try innovations and to develop new products from the grapes of the territory in which he was born and raised.
