Large Format Wines

The consumption of wine took place mainly on social occasions and took place according to precise rituals. Before the arrival of Greek fashion, which involved the use of a large vase for diluting wine with water and pouring it into large bowls (the kylikes), in Vetulonia typical local traditional vessels are used. This is testified, for example, by the vases found in the pit tomb of tumulus V of the necropolis of Santa Teresa, a locality located a few kilometers from San Germano dating back to 630 BC, the monumental kantharos was probably used to contain the wine that was then drawn and drunk through the bowls found around the large vase. Inspired by these researches and by the designs that decorate the great stamnos, we have created a limited series of Rocca di Frassinello magnum bottles with a special label depicting the Dionysian procession. The bottle is contained in a wooden case, decorated and handcrafted, which also contains two copies of the bucchero bowls. The historical value of the tombs and its findings linked to the consumption of wine is above all one: that the place was ideal for cultivating the vine, as it is today, already three thousand years ago.
