a serene summer evening in Sagaponack brings Brunello Cucinelli and Wölffer Estate together to host an intimate celebration at the Wölffer Residence. The event, designed to honor the season and the spirit of Italian living, welcomed guests into a courtyard inspired by a traditional piazza. With acoustic guitar melodies in the air and Wölffer Estate wine in hand, attendees sampled fresh vegetable hors d’oeuvres from thoughtfully curated market stands, setting the tone for a relaxed yet refined experience.
The dinner was co-hosted by Riccardo Stefanelli, CEO of Brunello Cucinelli, alongside Joey and Marc Wölffer, co-owners of Wölffer Estate. As evening settled in, guests were invited to a seated dinner outdoors, where long tables, soft lighting, and flowing conversation created a sense of understated elegance. The ambiance struck a balance between the pastoral charm of Umbria and the breezy sophistication of the Hamptons.
The guest list included notable names across fashion, media, and entertainment, such as Alexandra Daddario, Christie Brinkley, Don Lemon, Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Katie Lee Biegel, and Lady Kitty Spencer. With a shared appreciation for craftsmanship, culture, and community, the evening offered a gentle nod to the values both Brunello Cucinelli and Wölffer Estate are known for: quiet luxury, hospitality, and the beauty of living well.
