Modum vino spumante metodo classico

Modum vino spumante metodo classico
The meanings of the Latin word “modum” are many and varied: measure, dimension, rhythm, melody, as well as limit, goal, manner and rule.We chose it primarily for its sound and for the sense of balance it conveys, enhanced by the delicate image of dandelion seeds carried by the wind. They grow in unexpected places, revealing resilience and an extraordinary ability to adapt to different conditions, while at the same time evoking the beauty and simplicity of nature. An invitation to slow down and appreciate the small things—an art that can bring great joy and fulfilment to life.
