Working with My Brother – A Story of Bonds and Passion

Working with My Brother, an Unexpected Adventure

When we were little, nothing suggested that one day we’d share our professional lives. Yet it’s now been more than ten years that working with my brother has been part of my everyday life. And what an adventure it is! It’s a unique relationship, full of laughter, debates, and, yes, a few moments of irritation too. But above all, it’s a wonderful gift.

Because, in the end, he’s become my favorite partner — in both work and play. Even if, let’s be honest, he sometimes drives me crazy! But that’s probably because we understand each other so well. We both work incredibly hard, surrounded by the rest of our family. Still, the bond between us is special. It’s built on trust, constancy, and shared energy.

Working with My Brother Means Sharing the Same Vision

What makes our collaboration so smooth is that we share the same work ethic. And the same ambition. We both want to honor and highlight the work done by our grandparents and parents before us. Every decision we make carries their legacy. We feel like the guardians of a story we continue to build together, with respect and passion.

And when he’s not around for a few days, I miss him. I love when he walks into the office and sits at the end of my desk. That’s when it all begins. We debate everything — prices, labels, marketing, planting, irrigation, blending… everything! Ideas fly in all directions, and often, that’s when our best decisions are born.

Disagreements, but Always Admiration

Of course, there are intense days. When I have a mountain of things to do and he bursts in with new requests, I take a deep breath. He’s as driven as I am, and I understand that. But it’s not always easy to juggle it all. So we learn to listen to each other and find balance. And, in the end, it works.

We don’t always agree. He’s calmer, more reasonable, while I can be more impulsive. But I often have to admit — he’s right. And I like to think that I challenge him a bit too, and that he enjoys it. He also knows how to challenge me! That back-and-forth is what makes us strong.

Endless Gratitude

What do I like a bit less? His late-night texts about work. Or his calls when I’m trying to take three days off. But deep down, I smile, because that’s also what working with my brother means. It’s about sharing more than just a job. It’s about living a common passion, a legacy, a commitment.

And even if we end up talking about work again at two in the morning, I wouldn’t change a thing. Because I adore him. And I’m deeply grateful for this precious time together — this sibling adventure, this patient building of our shared passion and family heritage. Together, we’re continuing the story that began before us. And that’s something truly special.
