Out of nearly 300 vodka entries, Verità Vodka Italiana (SRP $25,1L) was crowned the 2024 "Best-in-Class" Vodka at Sunday's Top Shelf Gala, which took place at the InterContinental Hotel San Francisco. The black-tie affair honored the exceptional leaders shaping the spirits industry and celebrated excellence with "Best-in-Class" and "Best-in-Show" awards from the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. 

Dalla Terra Winery Direct also took home "best in class" in the Spritz category with Almare Hugo. "It's an honor to say the least," said Scott Ades, president of Italian wine and spirits importer Dalla Terra Winery Direct.
