Description
Description
Vivera ETNA BIANCO is bottled in the month of March, the first of the original Roman calendar and consecrated to Mars, god of agriculture and war. I dedicate this wine to all the farmers who, with the tenacity of ancient warriors, fight every day to give us fruits that make their memory eternal.
