The spices dress it in chlorophyllous and vanilla balm, without its rich endogenous aromatic component, its own pulpy fruit, being even partially overwhelmed by said expansion of aromas. No, here the sweetness of currants is combined with a creamy mentholated persuasion of spices, with a softness and an olfactory clarity of superior oenological class. Wine has always been the inspiration and source of great masterpieces. It is contemporary to see the surface of a glass bottle as an artistic support, which amplifies the value of the product thanks to its aesthetic message. The Divinus label, created in collaboration with the artist Cristina Vitan, aims to enhance the contrast between the power and the enveloping softness of the AGLIANICO del vulture. The exaltation of the female body is the central theme of the artist's works who, challenging the classical canons of art, transform the artistic language into a provocative visual show. In wine, as in art, we are struck by the chromatic intensity, the nuances, the luminosity, the way it rotates in the glass.
