Fun fact: the wooden plate is a tribute to how winemakers used to do it. The wines were then stored in clay soil, and a label would be lost. That's why wooden plates were used instead of a label. Sealed with an original wax capsule, and if you order 6 bottles, they will be delivered in a wooden case.
