Team

Transported from Chicago to Tuscany. The spark behind the scenes at Ultima Pietra—navigating, with a smile, the endless Italian administrative challenges necessary to run the farm. A dedicated biodynamic Tuscan farmer and certified Olive Oil Sommelier.

Marco’s experience, leadership, enthusiasm and dedication are unparalleled. He is truly the guy who keeps our little podere (farm) running.

Too humble to write his own bio—our inspiration in the vineyard and cellar, philosopher-in-residence and guiding star. We love the way Gio thinks about farming and wine and just keep learning from him.

Born in the steep hills of Chianti, Corinna is the heart and soul behind Ultima Pietra. A founding team member, she expertly oversees every aspect of the Estate, bringing passion and precision to every bottle. When she's not crafting exceptional wines, you can find her sharing her love for wine with guests.  Passionate about winemaking, Corinna earned a degree in viticulture and enology with special expertise in sustainability.

Leader of the transformation of grapes into Ultima Pietra wines. Raised in the heart of Valdarno, a passionate winemaker who has traveled the world to hone his skills. Can often be found under, inside and on top of the tanks to be sure every glass of Ultima Pietra wines speak Tuscan. 

Thanks to Peppino’s 40 years of Tuscan vineyard experience, we could not be in better hands. Drives a John Deere tractor like a Ferrari—and our professor in the vineyard.  Truly our grape whisperer.

Knows all 16,000 plants in the vineyard. Experienced, dedicated and always willing to go the extra mile (or kilometer).
