Tenuta dell’Ugolino is owned and run by Andrea Petrini, a creative young entrepreneur who has taken the family business and turned it into an award-winning winery. He named the vineyard after his grandfather, who once worked the fields of wealthy landowners and kept what he could for others less fortunate than himself. It was Ugolino who, with his generosity and determination, inspired Andrea to manage the family business on his own. Now, with numerous awards to his credit for his Verdicchio, he is a successful winemaker and a credit to the memory of his beloved grandfather.
