Why you should drink it

Because this wine was already famous in 1400 even in Northern Europe, among the nobles and even at the Pope's court.

And to think that it was a wine that had been lost, but that the Liguria Region, in collaboration with the University of Turin, wanted to bring back to the market.

So, if the Region and the University have mobilized to make us drink such goodness, why not do it?

Furthermore, obviously to maintain quality and tradition, "limited edition" bottles are produced: you have the opportunity to buy one now, why lose it?
