Salento Primitivo IGT 750ml Gianfranco Fino

The id according to Freud: It is instinct and unbridled passion (the same as that used to produce this wine) without conditions, without rules, beyond space and time,
beyond logic and morality. It knows neither good nor evil. The Es is subject to a single principle: 'PLEASURE'.
