Product name Toscana Rosso Peperino 2021
Perfume The nose reads a good intensity and persistence, with woody notes that blend harmoniously with the wine’s fruity elements.
Taste A full wine with a pleasant, distinctive character, strong tannin notes, but well-balanced to the fruit, and a long aftertaste.
History Peperino is represented by a rabbit knight holding a spear and shield and riding a hybrid creature, a snail with a human head. Drolleries, babewyns, antics with mysterious meanings or no meanings at all, hybrid creatures, monstrous medieval creations, or just the product of the amanuenses’ irony: A tribute to the symbols and the art of the illuminated manuscripts of the Gothic period.

Description

Isola bianca and Peperino are represented by two rabbit assassins that are found in illuminated manuscripts. These harmless creatures become hunters, warriors and even vindictive torturers holding spears, axes and swords with the dexterity of knights.
