Condello was born in Forlì and grew up in Fiumana di Predappio near her family winery, Conde.[4] Her father Francesco Condello founded the Conde estate in 2001.[5] The Predappio soil is complex and hospitable to grape growing, with a cooler climate than neighboring Tuscany.[6]

Condello studied economics at Bocconi University in Milan took over the business operations of her family estate at age 24.[7] She then started farming her own grapes. Condello's first vintage was 2015, and she farms mostly Sangiovese wines in a biodynamic fashion on 4.8 hectares of land.[8]
