Here are 6 Wines Made by Women
Southbrook Triomphe Organic Chardonnay 2018
Made by the uber talented Ann Sperling, Southbrook wines have always been on the top of my list and Ann is a queen of organic farming and winemaking. It’s easy to have one taste of their chardonnay (or any of their wines for that matter) and get completely addicted. This bottle is a must have in your cellar and in your fridge!

Donnachiara Beneventano Falanghina 2020
Try something new like Falanghina – a bright and fresh white wine from Italy. The story of Donnachiara and Ilaria Petitto has a rich history that exemplifies the power of women in wine. The family first started out selling grapes from the beautiful vineyards of Southern Italy, however in 2005 Ilaria’s mother, Chiara, inherited the vines and decided to begin production of their own wines, consequently, the modern female managed winery began to blossom. Three years later, Ilaria left her practice of the law to join her family business, focusing on sustainable agriculture. Ilaria, now CEO, is supported by her mother, who is the niece of Donna Chiara Mazzarelli Petitto, for whom the winery is dedicated too. Through Ilaria’s hard work and commitment, Donnachiara is paving the way for women-run businesses. Not to mention the wine is sincerely fabulous and unique!
