A jersey designed to capture the true essence of the Eroica, the event that embodies the passion of the vintage cycling phenomenon. This event inspires thousands of enthusiasts to dust off old steel bikes and take to the white roads of the vineyards of Chianti to relive an experience from origins of cycling. For this reason, Santini Maglificio Sportivo, with its half-century history, proved to be the ideal partner to create a unique collection that would embody the vintage soul of the Tuscan cycling event, bringing back to life the style and fashion of bygone era of cycling.
