The story behind Massima Felicità began nearly a decade ago when Stefano and Laura of Castelvecchio visited Radici. After their tasting, a customer approached them with a unique request: to sign the bottles. This simple moment sparked a creative fire, prompting Stefano to spend the night crafting beautiful phrases in Italian, each reflecting the essence of their passion for winemaking. This inspiration led to the creation of this exceptional wine, where each bottle showcases a handwritten, unique phrase, transforming each sip into a personal experience.

The wine ages in second and third passage wooden barrels for a minimum of 12 months and is further refined in the bottle for at least 4 months. Each bottle features a handwritten, unique phrase in Italian, adding a personal touch.
