Our Staff

Winery Owner and a well-known Neurologist from Arezzo

He chose the countryside of Villa La Ripa in Antria for his moments of peace and serenity. For Saverio, producing wine is the way to regenerate, recharge from his professional activity, full of much satisfaction but sometimes also of small and big pains.

For the owner, the challenge is to make the best wine possible, following, of course, his own ideal of taste, balance, and elegance, and using the scientific method that he applies every day in his clinical practice, helped by the enologist Alessio Bandinelli and agronomist Marco Pierucci.

He waits for you at Villa La Ripa, where you can discover the secret of the story of the Renaissance Villa and taste its wines!

Managing Director of Villa La Ripa

Silvia is a young Sommelier who has been part of the wonderful world of Villa La Ripa for nearly ten years.

She has witnessed the estate being born, grow, and evolve year after year. She fell in love with this extraordinary place, immersed in nature and surrounded by history, art, rows of vines, and ancient olive trees, and has always dedicated all of her energy and potential to improving and developing Villa La Ripa.

Silvia knows every secret of this estate. She is primarily responsible for the cellar and oversees all winemaking processes, while also managing the administrative side of the business. She is, in every sense, the cornerstone of the company.

A remarkable woman, skilled, capable, and brilliantly talented.

Vineyard & Field Operations Manager

With a background that combines financial expertise and hospitality. He has years of experience in the banking and financial sector and the restaurant industry, where he developed strong organizational skills and a passion for creating meaningful experiences for people.
Working with vineyards and plants gives him a balance between physical health and inner peace. He is motivated by the impact of his work, knowing that every detail contributes to the moment when someone enjoys a glass of wine. For Marius, wine represents care, respect for the land, and the desire to offer people authentic and memorable experiences.

Marco Pierucci is our agronomist, a partner in Studio Agronominvigna, a team with a strong viticultural vocation.

Marco dedicates his professional activity to technical consultancy, exclusively for vineyards dedicated to sustainably producing high quality wines, that  identifies  the vigneron and evocates  the production area.

Because of the complexity of these difficult objectives, Marco prefers to talk about his activity as the "skipper of the vineyards" who must sail by sight during each vintage to get in the best possible conditions for the harvest.

Because only from great grapes it is possible to produce memorable and long-lived wines.
