The Story of Imeneus
The myth says that Imeneus, offspring of Aphrodite and Bacchus, was a young Athenian of modest social standing but of extraordinary beauty.
He fell in love with a young noble girl. While she was travelling to Eleusis, she was captured by pirates with her handmaids; among them there was also Imeneus, who was mistaken for a girl.
While the captors were sleeping, he slew them all and brought the girls back safe to Athens. For his courageous deed, he was awarded the hand of his beloved.
For this reason, the ancient Greeks invoked Imeneus as a bringer of happiness in marriage.
Tasting Notes
The wine is fresh and full of aroma. Extremely delicate and light, incredibly fresh and rich in texture. Enthusiastic, lively and full of charm. The nose is very delicate and subtle with fresh figs, cherries and spice, with a rich minerality. The wine has a large and powerful structure, and the surface is soft and elegant, with layers of floral aromas, full of seductive long aftertaste.
