A snail and a bottle to a wine cellar with wines of importance that interpret the environmental values, identity, territory and sensory. A recognition given in the new Slow Wine Guide, which awards the seal of Antonelli San Marco Montefalco (Perugia), Filippo Antonelli. In all, only 160 Italian wine producers have been awarded in this first edition. The "snails" are the symbols assigned to those wineries interpreting the following values: sensory, territorial, environmental and identity, in keeping with the spirit of Slow Food. The "bottle" symbols instead indicate the presence of important wines. Antonelli is the only winery in Umbria to be recognized with both values.
