Pandolfini celebrates 90 years of activity and opens the spring session with an unmissable sale of prestigious and collectable wines at its seat in Borgo Albizi in Florence. Thanks to the success of the previous years, the auction in March has become a fixture for fans of the sector, alongside the well–established sales held in October in collaboration with L’Espresso and Pitti Immagine and the new appointment before Christmas.
