This case pays homage to all the female winemakers. Thankfully there's no shortage of trailblazing ladies in our portfolio, such as Elisabetta Faguioli of Montentidoli, who's been leading her estate for many decades, passing on the expertise of antiquity. The next generation is also represented, with growers like Judith Beck in Burgenland, Austria and Arianna Occhipinti, who's been putting the region of Vittoria, in southern Sicily on the map.
