Description
In 1989 the Castellani Family invited Keith Haring to Pisa to realize what would become his most important permanent public work, the monumental mural "Tuttomondo".
On that occasion, the artist gave the family a label he had made for the house wine of a friend's restaurant, hoping that one day it could be used for a prestigious wine produced in Tuscany.
Today, more than 30 years later, this project finds its realization thanks to a special commemorative cuvee produced by the Castellani family in one of its best vineyards, the Tenuta di Ceppaiano on the Tuscan coast.
A special thanks goes to the Keith Haring foundation which granted the possibility to use the original image.
This wine is dedicated to freedom of expression in every area of civil life.

Tenuta di Ceppaiano
The wines of Ceppaiano are born, as well as from grapes grown according to the highest quality criteria, also from this spirit that wants to give 'back to wine its highest task, what it does, according to Plutarch, "a drink that frees man's soul from fear, from lies, from servility" To do this we have established a dialogue between wine and art, in particular modern and contemporary art, what we believe is able to create a symbolic bridge towards a possible future world, the one that makes people feel freer.
Vinification
Hand-picked grapes are immediately fermented in the modern cellars of Ceppaiano following the traditional vinification methods. The ageing takes place for 12 months in French oak barrels.
