  Curiosity

  The label on this exclusive bottle is made of leather and hand-stamped. This is the only winery in Argentina to use leather labels. After enjoying the wine, the label can be removed and used as a coaster or simply kept as a memento of the experience.

  A European importer, after purchasing many of these bottles, created a leather jacket entirely from the labels. The result was a unique and beautiful piece!
