We are deeply saddened to say that we lost our beloved founder Alberto Migliardi on December 9th, 2025..

He was more than our founder, he was our family..

He meant a great deal to us, and we know he meant a lot to all of you. Alberto was one of the most loving, joyful, and genuinely funny souls most people will ever meet. He had an extraordinary ability to turn ordinary moments into lasting memories through laughter, stories, music, or simply by bringing people together. Human connection was at the center of everything he did. He thrived on presence, conversation, shared experiences, and those spontaneous moments that make life richer.

If you knew Alberto, you knew how deeply he cared. He had a rare gift for making people feel seen and valued, and he carried that same authenticity into his work. Alberto embraced life as fully and openly as he embraced the people in it. He was always ready with a big hug, a warm smile, and genuine enthusiasm for seeing familiar faces again. His legacy lives on in the relationships he built, the community he fostered, and the countless moments of joy he created simply by being himself.

“If you didn’t know Alberto, you didn’t really know the world’s wine industry. In a lot of ways, he was the industry to so many of us. He carried a rare kind of light and goodness that poured out of him, and everyone nearby wanted to be a part of it. His love was contagious. He lit up every room and made you feel like family the second you met.”
- Jasper Riddle, Owner of Noisy Water Winery
