After two years of absence from the traditional public tastings, we were happy to see you again and prepared a reverse communication operation. This is so that you don’t forget to return a bottle of Ǝ̗ꓤꓕꓶIᖵ NO before opening it.

Also, You didn’t dream, the cellarers did not make a labelling error on the bottles of Ǝ̗ꓤꓕꓶIᖵ NO. A world’s first. This will give lovers of this nectar the impulse to turn the bottle over before enjoying it.
