Paul Baggio
- Managing Director, Della Toffola Pacific
Paul Baggio is a major driving force behind winemaking, brewing and distillation technology in Australasia. As a third generation wine machinery manufacturer, Paul cut his teeth building wine presses and destemmer crushers at the family factory plant in Melbourne, Victoria. His engineer father, who emigrated from Italy, established Cellar Plus supplying winemaking, brewing and food making equipment to small and medium scale producers across Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia throughout the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s. Working vintages in Italy in 1995 and 1996, vintages in Stellenbosch and Paarl, South Africa, and California as a brewer, all provided a lasting impression that shaped Paul’s future outlook, providing a unique set of supply-chain and service support businesses to the Australian and New Zealand beverage industries. Paul returned to Melbourne in 1997 and took up the general management role of Cellar Plus which today makes up The Beverage Food Group P/L. The Australian wine industry at that time was gaining momentum and in 1997 Paul established Australian & New Zealand Winemakers P/L, a business unit specialising in the build of small to medium wineries. At the start of 2000, representing Della Toffola S.p.A, new filtration technology such as ceramic membrane cross flow and flash détente were introduced. Yet, it was the central membrane bag press technology that would go on to make the most significant shift to the vinification landscape of the Australian and New Zealand industry. Over the last five years, across Australia and New Zealand, there have been more large scale (160hL and greater sized) Della Toffola presses sold than any other grape press brand. Paul is the Managing Director of Della Toffola Pacific, with over 25 years working in the local industry, and has navigated Della Toffola Pacific to becoming synonymous with leading process vinification technologies and one of the truly dominant suppliers to the Australian and New Zealand wine industry.
