Label / history
The Sofi range comprises Müller Thurgau, Schiava and Rosso. It takes its name from the Haas family's daughter Sofia, who had wanted a wine bearing her name and a label of her own design since preschool. The range was subsequently developed with her involvement to reflect a youthful taste, freshness, typicity and terroir.
