Antonio Bottinelli created the sculpture on the label. It is called "Le Prime Rose" evoking a girl in her first bloom of youth, and accented her dress with a ring of roses. Our wine is a rose from the eastern part of Italy which we feel is as sweet as the girl herself. A rose is also commonly growing near each row of grapes as an early warning of crop disease.
The color is an elegant deep pink, and the taste is that of strawberries and dark cherries. Drink it chilled with a creamy cheese or some fruit!
