You might remember this label used to have lycra-clad cyclists on the bottle (Farnese were the sponsors of the Giro D’Italia cycle race). They’ve ditched the men in tight shorts and gone for a much better modern, stylish looking label (thank god). A light to medium bodied style to match heart Mediterranean dishes – we’re thinking rich pastas, spicy meaty pizzas, salami or other cold cuts, chorizo or cheese!
