Our Ottavianello WineClub is a cultural project aiming at the promotion of the most important grape variety in the area. It perfectly runs in parallel with the wine project itself and is intended to involve the public through a series of cultural initiatives, conferences, masterclasses, themed events, but also artistic projects associated to the landscape.
We are delighted to award the HONORARY MEMBERSHIP card to some friends who immediately joined our wine project with great curiosity. Allow us to introduce them…
