OSTIUM
It is thought that the origins of Chardonnay are 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 shown on the label is special: it allows access to other dimensions, to the past and to the future. The same power that wine has, after all!
