We here at VeroVino offer a well-deserved congratulations to woman wine grower-maker Hilde Petrussa and her fabulous estate, Vigna Petrussa on occasion of their recent reviews and ratings received from renowned Italian wine critic Ian D’Agata! He praises Vigna Petrussa as “one of Italy’s best and most under the radar estates” and he speaks highly of “animated” woman winemaker-vigneron Hilde Petrussa’s “great passion for her craft.” Vigna Petrussa’s wines were introduced for the first time to the US market last year by VeroVino.
