Back to classic. After having travelled among so many under-sung denominations of the Italian peninsula, in this episode of Rare Wines, we put two icons of Italian wine side to side.

The couple that we present here combines austerity; both wines are aged only in large casks; gustatory depth and very faithful territorial adherence.
