Really looking forward to conversation with Hilde to learn more about her imprint at the forefront of the delectable, interesting Schippettino grape, indigenous to Friuli. We’ll be talking her family winemaking story, her role bringing Schioppettino out of obscurity, and tasting at least three versions. Join us!We’re super proud to be carrying women-owned Vigna Petrussa wines. They are 3 generations of women making delicious, sustainably made estate wines in Friuli, in North East Italy right near the Slovenian border. ![]()
