"It is said that Luigi Einaudi never missed a grape harvest, even in the long years he spent in Rome, as governor of the Bank of Italy, Minister and President. After him, the company was taken care of by his second son Roberto, born in Dogliani, in the Cascina di San Giacomo. During his high school years in Turin, he came into contact with important figures of the time – Pavese, Bobbio, Mila – who profoundly influenced his growth. A mechanical engineer, he began a promising career in the steel industry and was among the founders, with Agostino Rocca, of the Techint group. But the bond with Dogliani never ended: he dedicated commitment and energy to his beloved land, he was always a point of reference for the family and the company, a silent engine of its renewal. His grandson Matteo remembers him as an eternally optimistic, curious and passionate man, confident in man and in his ability to achieve anything. At the end of the 80s, Paola, Roberto's daughter, left Milan and her business and moved to Dogliani together with Giorgio Ruffo, his lifelong companion, to support her father in the management of the Poderi. With tenacity, enthusiasm and significant investments, she relaunched the historic brand, achieved new commercial successes and improved the quality of her wines, which under her guidance became extremely elegant, maintaining the typicality of the territory. He strengthened the foundations of the company and created an excellent working group, still today the greatest asset of Poderi Luigi Einaudi. She loved her land and the people of the village and played an active role in the Dogliani Community. According to her son Matteo, Paola was "the one who most treasured the values ​​of family, the countryside and the land".
