It evokes the memories, thoughts and emotions that lurk in the most ancestral depths of our being” and finally, the latest addition to the Garbole family, a limited edition Hurlo, which needs to be ordered in advance, “as breath of spirit expressed in liquid form that reaches the profoundest depths of our emotions."
