Curiosity
The name of this wine has been inspired by "Armida" Literary character of the poem "Jerusalem Liberated" by T. Tasso. She is a young woman, Muslim sorceress of enchanting beauty, intelligence and vigorous soul, who wanted to seduce with her beauty and magic the crusader knight Rinaldo, but will fall victim to her magic, falling in love with her. Wine like the character is seductive and bewitching, harmonious softness and a sweet and enveloping finish.
