NE BIS IN IDEM
The same grape gives rise to different wines. That is the magic of Nebbiolo, a vine that finds its favourite habitat at the foot of the Alps, where it expresses itself at its best. Here it produces Nebbiolo and Barolo, but the two wines never repeat themselves: ne bis in idem! Concept represented on the label by a dishevelled hill woman, who reflected, reveals a different image.
