It brings you to the desired page and above all the product charts are very thorough. In these charts you can find all the necessary characteristics in order to purchase (or even just out of curiosity) a product. The charts contain the organoleptic characteristics, as well as that of the producer, the matching (even for the extra virgin olive oils), of the service and the best way to conserve it. The photos of the glasses in every chart, is a valid suggestion on the type of “crystal” to use for every wine.
