Label / history

The wine was created in 2008. Its name arose after Jacopo told a client during a business trip to Switzerland that he had been fined five times in two days. The client suggested “Cinque,” Italian for “five.” An alternative account links the name to the five vineyards from which the grapes were harvested.
