| History |
Guardoilvento is the wine dedicated to Dante Albieri (Graphic), Maria de Ferraris (Artist), Francesco Antonelli (Navigator and Writer). The name of the wine, which is also the name of the first novel by Francesco Antonelli, represents the image of the vine cultivated in Alberello that is crossed in all directions by the wind, sometimes gently caressed to give relief, sometimes lashed by a violent force. But she, the vine, with its roots well anchored to the land that feeds it, and close to the pole to which the man has entrusted it, remains there to watch and listen to that wind, which is also salubrity, is quality. |
