Volpina III Metodo Classico

Volpina III is named after the family's wooden boat, a 5.50 S.I. once owned by Stefano's maternal uncle. Now, it's back on the water with Stefano on the steering wheel, as Antonio and Lamberto handle the ropes. This Metodo Classico zero dosage was launched on the market during the opening of Locanda Case Vecie to toast to summer and the beginning of this new hospitality venture.
