"GIOTTO" LANGHE ROSSO DOC
The Langhe Rosso Doc “Giotto” wine was dedicated to the great Italian painter and architect Giotto di Bondone. Giotto already became a symbol artist in life, a real cultural myth, holder of a consideration that did not change, rather it grew in the following centuries. He succeeded in overcoming the Byzantine schemes and opening towards a representation that introduced the sense of space, volume and color, anticipating the values of the age of Humanism.
