S. MADDALENA CLASSIC ANTHEOS
Antheos is a return to the origins, it is a wine in which eight historic varieties of Schiava come together. These ancient vines are the fruit of history, as are we men: they have strength, experience and wisdom.

«A few years ago I decided to replant a mixed cutting of historic vines, dating back to the times of my great-grandfather and which had almost completely disappeared. I did this, not with the intention of rewriting history, but to merge a piece of history with the present and continue it into the future. This is how this exclusive Santa Maddalena wine was born.»
