Laura Ronca is one of the leading wine professionals working in Italian wine today. She travels all over the world as an ambassador for the many top brands that she represents. And lucky for us, her travels bring her to Texas every year. We recently caught up with Laura (despite her demanding schedule!) and asked her to share some of her experiences working in Italian wine in the U.S.

How did you get your start in the business? I started working in the wine business January of 2011 after an international career in radio and video productions. My first experience as export manager was with Azienda Agricola Drusian Francesco, which I still proudly represent proudly.
