A typical working day during a challenging year like that of 2021.
This was the moment when the idea for this package was born.
A couple of fellow compatriots come to us, ready to enjoy a tasting experience.
During lunch, we talk, discuss and enter into confidence.
They both fall in love with the unique flavor of our Raggio d’Anfora, deciding to buy a bottle.
During the experience, the gentleman tells me that he is a passionate of woodworking and that he has been building baseball bats for a lifetime for the local team in his city in northern Italy.
Saying goodbye and having now made friends with the whole family, they asked us for an empty bottle of Raggio because he wanted to try to make a box for our particular bottle, promising to send us the results.
Sometime later, here comes a pack with 2 of these magnificent wooden boxes, one strikingly converted into a nativity scene by the lady.
We fell in love with these boxes’ beauty, skill, and craftsmanship, deciding to order a few more for our beloved customers this year.
Each box is a unique piece made with different wood (some are cypress and have a crazy scent).

The Raggio is one of our more caratteristic wine. The oldest method of winemaking, recreate old aromas and the old emotion. We this kind of winemaking we rediscover the pleasure to make everthing slower.

DEDICATION
