The label: Battle of Monteaperti
A defining feature of this cuvée is its striking “Battle of Monteaperti” label, which makes this Brunello immediately recognizable. The illustration refers to one of the most iconic medieval events in Tuscan history (1260), a symbol of conflict, identity, and territorial heritage.
The scene, depicting knights and horses in motion, captures the tension and drama of the historic clash between Florence and Siena. It is a tribute to Tuscany’s historical memory, reinterpreted through an artistic and contemporary lens, transforming the bottle into a true collector’s piece. The label becomes an integral part of the wine’s identity, emphasizing its “Art Collection” character.
