The story behind the label:
The label of the ‘Il Solarianne’ is a special art label, the bottle is already since the first release ‘dressed in art.’ Alessandro Grazi Opere from Sienna has designed the label for the 2020 vintage, the work is called “il clima-serio” and it is a work about the serious and worrying climate situation that is experiencing our planet right now.
