CURIOSITY: Azörd is a word coming from Piedomnt dialect and means the chance, the risk. Anything better than this name reflects our situation, deciding for the first time to create a wine with a blend of grapes. It’s a risk that we wanted to take because we believe in the potential of Barbera, in the style of Nebbiolo and balance of Cabernet. The label shows this special meaning: the risk is represented by the tightrop and the jester, our proposal to play on a particular wine. The acrobat dresses the colors of the wines: the hat is the noble Nebbiolo, the blouse is the strenght and structure of Barbera and shoes refers to the balance of Cabernet.
