Vigna Petrussa: Between History and Passion

The story of Vigna Petrussa begins with the inspiring figure of Giuseppina. Widowed at a young age, Giuseppina defied the social conventions of her time and took the reins of the family business. With a clear vision and unwavering determination, she made significant changes in both the production and distribution of wines. Her love for Schioppettino, an indigenous grape variety of Friuli, was passed down to subsequent generations, becoming the symbol of the winery. Her ability to innovate while maintaining deep respect for tradition laid the foundation for the company’s future success.

Hilde, Giuseppina’s daughter, continued this legacy with passion and dedication. After leaving a career in another field, she decided to devote herself entirely to the family business, introducing sustainable practices and strengthening the connection with the territory. Under her leadership, Vigna Petrussa became distinguished for the quality and uniqueness of its wines, earning accolades and sustainability certifications. Hilde strongly believed in the potential of Schioppettino, and thanks to her efforts, the Schioppettino di Prepotto Producers Association was established, which helped promote and enhance this traditional grape variety.

Today, with Francesca at the helm, Vigna Petrussa looks to the future with optimism and determination. Francesca, representing the third generation, has brought a new vision to the company thanks to her background as an architect. She has introduced elements of image and design, always keeping intact the core values of respect and love for the land. Her attention to aesthetics and innovation is also reflected in the company’s sustainable approach, which has earned the SQNPI (National Quality System for Integrated Production) certification for sustainability and environmental respect.

Vigna Petrussa is an example of how the union of tradition and innovation can lead to extraordinary results. Each bottle tells a story of passion, dedication, and respect for the territory, reflecting the soul and heart of those who have cultivated it for over a century. The commitment of the women of Vigna Petrussa continues to carry forward a tradition that embraces the past, lives in the present, and looks to the future, always with a heart turned to the land and eyes set on innovation and sustainability.
