The historical label
The man on the label is Agostino Bianchi, an ancestor of our family. A unique and multifaceted man: he was inspector of the woods and forests under Napoleon and wrote the first treatise on the oil fly. A special label for an out-of-the-ordinary wine, which is produced only in exceptional vintages.
