Label / history

The relatively recent "12 e Mezzo" range was developed through research and tastings as an alternative to classic Italian wines. Its name means “twelve and a half” in Italian and refers to the wines’ alcohol level. The wine received a gold medal at the Berliner Wein Trophy 2019 and a silver medal at AWC Vienna 2018.
