Summary
Glass bottle used to hold the 1991 Vino. It was used in domestic wine production by the Di Benedetto family at their home in Thornbury, from the 1960s to 1991. In the early years the wine making was very much a family affair, with everyone contributing to the annual ritual. As the family dispersed, Vito di Benedetto continued to make wine once every three years, with the assistance of Maria and often his daughter Angela, until his death in 1991.
Physical Description
Cylindrical clear glass bottle containing dregs of cloudy brown liquid. White plastic screw cap. Paper label affixed to side.
