Label / history
The Sofi wines take their name from Sofia, the family's daughter. As a child, she wanted a wine bearing her own name and label. The project matured as she grew, moving closer to a youthful style of taste. The Sofi family comprises Müller Thurgau, Schiava and Rosso, conceived as fresh wines expressing varietal and regional character.
