This resilience profile will be updated as our investigation progresses. Ivan Lipko trained as a lawyer, then pursued professional golf in Florida (2010), then chose winemaking. The analytical mindset and precision from both professions transferred to viticulture. His father Alexey brought entrepreneurial experience. Together they planted 46 hectares on historic Trenzin estate land where Paleolithic settlements were discovered—now a registered archaeological monument where ancient history meets modern wine.
