L'airone - IGT Toscana White

The heron stalks through the reeds of our land, the Alta Maremma, where the poet Giosué Carducci has spent his childhood; in the background of the label one of his Odes.
 
“..Oh quel che amai, quel che sognai, fu in vano
Sempre corsi, mai non giunsi il fine
E dimani cadrò. Ma di lontano pace
dicono al cuor le tue colline …..”
