She graduated Law school in Pavia (North of Italy) in 2013. Three years later, she attended Law school at the Universidad Francisco de Vitoria in Madrid. In 2016 she officially became a lawyer and started to work as a legal consultant in the winery.\\nBut she soon realized that her true vocation was to pass on her family's passion, history and tradition. So, she decided to set aside civil and penal codes and devote herself entirely to the family business.\\nShe is today part of Donne del Vino (Women of Wine) an association that brings together women from all over the world, producers, sommeliers, journalists and restaurateurs united by their passion for wine.\\nThe wine industry has always been men-oriented and only nowadays it is opening more and more to women: women's influence changed the business. Women globalized the market, redefined the trading relations and represent the fundamentals of this business.\\nShe is also involved in the Board of Directors of Assovini Sicilia, an association of Sicilian winemakers that brings together over 91 wine companies to promote the quality of Sicilian wine around the world. What links the members is love and passion for Sicily and an awareness that the Sicilian wine territories represent unique value in the Italian, European and international wine markets.\\nToday Giovanna leads the family winery, the Caruso & Minini, together with her sister Rosanna and her husband Andrea representing the fourth generation. The three of them certainly have a focus on sustainability, both environmental -with reference to the use of clean energy during the winemaking processes - and social, having started a collaboration a few months ago with an ONLUS Laboratorio Zanzara (laboratoriozanzara.it) which has been in charge of the restyling of all labels and winery\\nThe three of them certainly have a focus on\\nimage.\\nTo learn more visit:\\nFacebook\\xa0www.facebook.com/carusoeminini\\nInstagram\\xa0www.instagram.com/carusoeminini/\\nWebsite\\xa0www.carusoeminini.com/en/about-us/\\nLet's keep in touch!
