BASTIONERO
VICENZA DOC CHARDONNAY
The story behind the bottle
In a sun-kissed land cradled by green hills, stood the imposing figure of Bastionero.
A resolute man, strong as the vines that climb the slopes.
His figure, massive and imposing, stood out like a fortress against the blue sky, a symbol of a strength that only the earth can bestow.
As seemingly tough in character as the black basalt on which his mansion stood, he possessed a noble soul, imbued with the sweetness of the land to which he was inextricably linked.
Through his actions, he protected his family and the land he loved with dedication.
His presence was like the warmth of the sun kissing the grapes, intensifying the richness and complexity of each experience.
His spirit, as mysterious as the shadows of the rows of vines at sunset, was imbued with an intensity that only a man deeply connected to knowledge can possess.
A man who embodied strength and loyalty to the land, his name was synonymous with a wine that carries with it the essence of the land and the character of one who defends it with honor.
