Riboli Family Wines launched Avanti, a new division dedicated to a portfolio of ultra-premium and luxury wine brands from France, Italy, New Zealand, and other regions.
Leading the division is VP of Sales, Rebecca Powelson, an industry veteran with over a decade of experience working in Sales and Marketing for Importers, and more recently over a year with Riboli Family Wines.
