A swirling fine vintage blended with philosophical and magical fruits, aged in the cask of religion and mystery. A clever and intellectual intertwining of a sacred generational conundrum. Passed from generation to generation until the truth of a family treasure was ultimately pursued for the organic and spiritual or magical composition. Exposed as a more complicated blend of reality and spirituality then ever imagined. Set in a backdrop of the Umbria countryside bordering Tuscany in the Valley of the Tiber and the Umbrian Valley. Valle Umbra, rich in tobacco, olive oil and of course the magical vineyards of Annaffiare Parole Magiche. The journey through the “watering of magical words” is a page turning marriage of tempo and generational character development that sirens for an even more revealing sequel .
