€ 16.00
Arteliquida is an innovative white wine that blends Tuscan heritage with French Viognier to create a wine with a unique backbone, body and aromatic profile thanks to the additional use of Manzoni bianco, a rare cross between Riesling and Pinot bianco created through a series of trials by Luigi Manzoni in the 1920s in northern Italy. The label reinterprets the concept of a glass and a bottle, intertwining them in the very same shape (simultaneously an emptying bottle and a refilling glass) in an artistic invitation to discover the wine.
