Only available in Italy? I like to buy Chateuneuf du Pape because of the papal arms. I see the cardinal's arms on these bottles ignore ut sive, and rightly so!
Technically, those are arms of a bishop, not of a cardinal. Bishop - 6 tassels in 3 rows on each side Archbishop - 10 tassels in 4 rows (metropolitan also a two-bars cross behind the shield) Cardinal - 15 tassels in 5 rows
But I'm sure it does not affect the taste nor any other quality :)
