Vini Buoni d’Italia “Oggi le Corone le decido io!” (“Today I decide the Crowns!”)

As if one Crown wasn’t enough, our Primitivo Fatalone Riserva 2006 was “double-crowned”! The wine guide “Vini Buoni d’Italia” organized a tasting with wine professionals and wine lovers in which they were asked to rate the same wines the guide’s commission had recently rated. We are very proud to announce we were re-crowned! We were awarded the Crown in BOTH tastings, by the official tasting commission and the group made up of wine professionals and wine lovers.
