Against a backdrop of market turbulence and uncertainty, the world of fine Wine & Spirit continues to attract investors and collectors. This is demonstrated by the success achieved by Baffonero, Rocca di Frassinello’s top wine, and by I Sodi di S. Niccolò, Castellare di Castellina’s flagship wine, during the auction held in Florence, on 17 and 18 June, by the well-known Pandolfini Auction House.

Niccolò which, in addition to being awarded by national and international critics, are wines of great structure and longevity. A bottle of fine wine, in fact, is not only a joy for the palate but can be transformed into a source of excellent profits.
