Description and Table of Contents

Description

A strange book, strange like strange fruit, this volume is an artist project inspired by the 19 surviving indigenous wines found in Friuli Venezia Giulia, a region once rich with hundreds of species of vine. Bound in the steel of fermentation vats, its pages filled with labels in 19 languages, painted in grape-based inks, this limited-edition book is one to be leafed through while humored by deep cellars.
