NAPA, Calif., June 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Scott Ades, president of Italian wine and spirits portfolio Dalla Terra Winery Direct, is pleased to announce that Verità Vodka Italiana ($25, 1L), which launched in the US market last year, has been recognized at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, achieving a top position among nearly 300 vodka competitors and reaching the finals for the 2024 Best-in-Class Vodka award. Verità Vodka also earned a Double Gold Medal, the highest honor at the event, and scored an impressive 97.

“Congratulations to Verità Vodka for their outstanding performance at the SFWSC. We’re thrilled to acknowledge this relatively new company as they are proving to be on the ideal track, while also presenting exceptional value,” stated Amanda Blue, President of the Tasting Alliance, which hosts the prestigious annual competition.

“Dalla Terra is dedicated to forming partnerships solely with Italian wineries and spirit manufacturers that are committed to crafting products with traditional profiles and sustainable practices,” remarked Rob Forman, Director of Spirits at Dalla Terra. “Recognition from the SFWSC panel of distinguished judges for this novel Italian Vodka brand confirms our approach to our spirits portfolio and underlines Italy’s status as a producer of some of the premier spirits in the world.”

Verità Vodka Italiana is produced for Dalla Terra by Distilleria dell’Alpe, a family-operated Italian distillery situated in the eastern Italian Alps. It epitomizes traditional Italian vodka, distilled from Italian wheat and Alpine mountain water, ensuring a remarkably smooth and pure taste. This is aided by a distinctive distillation process: Verità undergoes four rounds of distillation, the final one occurring in a traditional, wood-fired bain marie still, closely managed by master distiller Alessandro Maschio. This distilled spirit is then bottled without chill filtering, maintaining the vodka’s original flavor and texture.

In addition to Verità Vodka, Dalla Terra imports a range of wines and spirits from distinguished family-owned Italian enterprises. You can view the full list of producers they represent here.

Established in 2000, the San Francisco World Spirits competition stands as one of the elite spirits contests globally with more than 5,000 submissions in 2024. A selected panel of experts evaluates the entries blind, rating spirits, liqueurs, vermouths, and RTDs. They award bronze, silver, gold, and double gold medals, and score each entry on a 100-point scale. The top spirit in each category is honored with the Best-in-Class title.

The full range of Dalla Terra spirits, including the award-winning Verità Vodka, will be showcased at Bar Convent Brooklyn on June 11-12. Francesco Maschio, Master Distiller at Distilleria dell’Alpe, will present the spirits at the Dalla Terra booth, located at 8B-708 for attendees.
