Confronto

Red Wine

“Confronto” is the area of contact between two wine cultures. Amedeo De Luca and Ralph Falbo decided to melt two prestigious grape varieties such as Montepulciano d’Abruzzo and Zinfandel in a single wine to celebrate the point of contact between the traditions of the ‘old world’ and the wine visions of the ‘new world’. The packaging and label, conceived to attract attention and stimulate conversation, made Confronto an award-winning product with high international recognition.
