Ventura, CA (February 26 2020): VeroVino,  a U.S. importer which curates craft wines and olive oils from small, sustainable producers around the world and brings them to the US market, is pleased to announce that one of their suppliers, Vigna Petrussa, a second generation woman wine producer based in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region of Italy, has been named by renowned Italian wine expert Ian D’Agata as “one of Italy’s best and most under the radar estates”. In a January 2020 article, D’Agata praises the producer’s winemaker-vigneron Hilde Petrussa for a “great passion for her craft” and gave all of her wines 90+ point ratings. Vigna Petrussa’s wines were introduced for the first time to the US market last year by VeroVino.

Vigna Petrussa focuses mainly on native italian varietals, ranging from dry whites and reds to sweet wines, all of which received high praise. The highest ratings from D’Agata: ‘Her two most important and best wines are, every year, the Schioppettino and the Picolit. She has recently started producing a Ribolla Gialla that has been met with noteworthy success.”

“These accolades, with world leading wine critics, confirm that focusing on small, passionate producers like Vigna Petrussa makes sense, and underscores the value that VeroVino is bringing forth to those seeking interesting, hard-to-find wines, and olive oils, made in a sustainable way”, comments VeroVino Founder and CEO, Sheila Donohue.  “It is particularly gratifying, as a woman wine professional and entrepreneur, to be supporting women winemakers, like Hilde Petrussa, whose passion and hard work lead to such favorable recognition, and are making history as we speak.”
