The vineyards of Vigna Petrussa have been in the family for several generations, but it wasn’t until Hilde’s mother, Giuseppina, started to make wine from her father’s vineyards, in the north eastern Friuli Venezia Giulia region of Italy near the Slovenian border, that the Vigna Petrussa winery was born….

From Piedmont Italy, with a landscape of vineyards, and hamlets with churches and castles, to Los Angeles California, with its warm weather, beaches, mansions and palm trees, can there possibly be anything common between these two completely different places?
