Characterized by a modern and recognizable design, the model is designed to become an iconic element of the Consortium’s events , offering geographical and narrative information on the extraordinary characteristics of the territory of origin. A sea of hills that bears the memory of an ancient marine basin and which today hosts the vineyards for the production of the Piedmontese classic method par excellence.

Funds that have contributed to the financing of innovative research projects – explains Laura Radi , President of the Umbria Fondazione AIRC Committee -.
