Label

The historical label combines two salient characteristics of the wine that are also found in its name: the memory of the sea given by the marine soil rich in fossils of all shapes and sizes (MARE) and that of the land given by the yellow sands, called tuffs, which characterize the unique aromatic expression of this wine (TERRA).

 

The restyling of the label lightens the shapes and colors but maintains the characteristic elements unchanged. In essence, the duality between sea and land is found in the double expressive form of the shell, partly fossil and partly exalted by hot gold printing. Above the name of the wine is one of the nine company symbols that is inextricably linked to the organoleptic characteristics of this wine: the waves of the sea remind us of the geological origin of the land and the gentle Tuscan hills so well imprinted in the collective imagination.
