Label / history
"Guanciabianca" is the feminine counterpart of the Guancianera story from the same estate. It is dedicated to a tiny Sicilian "acidduzza" (bird) in love. According to the story, after Guancianera kissed Guanciabianca for the first time, a small white mark appeared on her cheek, and the two "acidduzzi" became one.
