Département 33 - Gironde / Louis (Luigi) Toffoli
La couleur "bordeaux" qui nous conduit directement à la ville de Bordeaux. We use bordeaux for a dark red, we also can use "wine lees" to name a reddish-purple color.
Bordeaux color which is burgundy (Bourgogne - another vineyard) in English.
Indices / clues : 33cl - wine (Bordeaux st Julien and Margaux) - canelés pastry specialty of Bordeaux - Italy - Denis Kalman sewing workshop
Italian clues with la Linea (created by Osvaldo Cavandoli - below) and the Italian firstname Luigi (Louis Toffoli was born in Trieste).
