Becco Reale Montepulciano

Dedicated to the Woodcock, a migratory bird also known as the “Queen of the Woods.” It prefers healthy, unpolluted environments, which is why it feeds on earthworms and insects in our organic vineyards, thus bearing witness to the health of our lands and the quality of our wine.
