Cervo Volante
Montenetto di Brescia IGT
It is the largest beetle that can be found in Italy, despite its appearence, it is harmless. Protected by the Berne Convention, the forest surrounding the vineyards is rich in them thanks to agriculture that respects biodiversity.
Cervo Volante is an “organic wine”, the result of the choice towards processing methods, in the countryside and in the cellar, aimed at guaranteeing the maximum representation of the territory. In the vineyard only substances of natural origin are used. Biodiversity is also encouraged to allow for a balance between all forms of life, plant and animal.
