Carlo Trinchero was formerly married to Stephanie Will, with whom he had two kids. Sutter Home and other top wine brands are co-owned by the Napa Valley business magnate and a member of the Napa Valley family. The 35-year-old was included in Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list in the food and beverage sector in 2015. Carlo has lately made headlines after being detained on November 11 on weapons and drug-related offenses. Despite being freed on a $50,000 bail, he is scheduled to return to court on January 20, 2023.
Meet Carlo Trinchero’s Wife: Stephanie Will, and Their Children
Carlo Trinchero married Stephanie Will, his five-year girlfriend, in 2017. The pair did, however, file for divorce in June 2022, alleging ‘irreconcilable disagreements.’ Stephanie, Carlo’s estranged wife, requested a restraining order based on the latest arrest. She asked the court to extend a prior protection order that had expired in October.
She said that Carlo kept drugs and firearms under the same roof as their two- and three-year-old girls. Carlo has been barred from possessing firearms as a result of his domestic violence arrest on May 15, 2016, when he slammed his wife into a cupboard, causing her to bleed and need medical treatment. He also assaulted and threatened a paramedic who arrived at the couple’s St. Helena residence. In February 2017, he pleaded no contest to domestic abuse charges and was sentenced to six months in jail and three years probation. “The children have been exposed to Carlo’s rage and volatile behavior,” Stephanie, 31, said in her appeal. She went on to say that he was dangerous to their well-being and her safety.
Carlo Trinchero Family History
Carlo Trinchero is the son of Roger Trinchero and the grandson of Mario Trinchero, the wine empire’s founder.
In 1948, Mario relocated his family from New York to Napa Valley to re-establish the Sutter Home winery, which had been dormant since Prohibition, and to construct a better life for his wife Mary and their three children, Roger, Bob, and Vera.
Sutter Home rose to prominence in the mid-1970s by introducing White Zinfandel, a sweeter and lighter wine that sells around 4.5 million bottles each year. The third generation of Trinchero leadership includes Carlo Trinchero, Mario Trinchero, Bobby Torres, and Tony Torres.
