Description

It could have been the round shape of the globe almost to represent the world, and the yellow-orange color to the intense pink of its fruit that inspired us on the name of this wine of ours, the fact is that the Pomegranate as a plant and as a fruit has drawn our attention for a long time  enough to dedicate it a wine, a fruit rich in symbolism and legends, the one we like to remember the most is among the myths is the one of Side, a vain wife who considered herself more beautiful than the goddess Era, to the point of daring to challenge her in a beauty contest and for this her punishment was to be  thrown into Hades where she transformed into a pomegranate … what more beautiful death?

100% Trojan grapes for a wine that expresses all its vanity with characteristics and scents that belong only to it. Its bouquet is inviting and sensual, intense and enveloping, lively, with fragrant red fruits, cherry, currant and raspberry, floral notes and good olfactory intensity, fresh and sapid.
