OSTIUM
The origins of Chardonnay are thought to be in the hills of Jerusalem, the cradle of cultures and crops. OSTIUM is the door that opens onto other lands and takes us far away. The portal that appears on the label is special: it allows access to other dimensions, to the past and the future. The same power that wine has, after all!
