Label / history
L’Eterno arose from a suggestion by Giacomo Tachis, who recognized Pinot Nero’s potential for expression in Sicily. The wine is presented as a consistent yet fine and elegant interpretation with a Burgundian character. Its label depicts the hand from a sculpture by Giacomo Serpotta; Feudi del Pisciotto supported the sculpture’s restoration alongside leading Italian fashion designers involved in the estate’s label collection.
