The winery is situated in the heart of Schioppettino mother earth, in the small village of Albana di Prepotto, lying among the gentle hills surrounding Judrio river valley. Forming a natural amphitheatre, this beautiful scenery is also ideal for wine growing, thanks to the favourable draughts that keep the soil dry and to the deep temperature range, which develops elegant aromas in the grapes.
The marl soil (called "ponka") dating back to the Eocene era crumbles in the rain and the sun, therefore enriching the soil with mineral salts and microelements which are fundamental for wine growing, in particular for Schioppettino grape. 
Wines are made by using modern technologies and respecting local culture and traditions at the same time.
The vineyard is always been part of the Petrussa family since the 1800 and for the last 3 generations Vigna Petrussa in been manage by the women of the family.

We make wines with great respect for the environment and our lands (we were awarded the SQNPI environmentally friendly wines certification), we patiently work alongside the rhythms of nature and we follow the traditional wine making process which puts the quality of our grapes at the heart of our vinification. As a result, our wines are able to tell the story of our lands and will show the perfumes, flavors and colors of our grapes above, skilfully brought out, softened and honed through selection, vinification and ageing in barrels. 
This is us: Love, Passion and Strong Character, just like the wines we make. 

“This is one of Italy’s best and most under the radar estates, inspired by owner Hilde Petrussa’s great passion for her craft”, this is how Ian d’Agata described us on Vinous.com.
