Mito delle Ore
Mito delle Ore
Mythology tells stories of a time long ago, when reality became history, history became legend and that legend, shared in the form of song from town to town, was transformed into myth.
Mythology tells of the existence of the Hours, an ancient legend that became myth. The Hours, daughters of Zeus and Themis, were the guardians of Olympus and protectors of the heavens. Bewitchingly beautiful goddesses, they guaranteed the order of nature and the regular succession of the seasons.
Thallo, Goddess of buds and blooms, Spring.
Auxo, Goddess of growth, Summer.
Carpo, Goddess of fruit and harvest, Autumn.
In their dance around the sun, they marked the passing of time, ensured the changing of the seasons and allowed the natural cycle of life to take place. Flowering, ripening, harvest. Each phase was managed by its own Goddess. Every moment was prepared, studied, cherished. Every moment happened because it was meant to be.
Finding the Myth of the Hours in a fresco in the rooms of Monteu Roero Castle, we decided to entrust their product
to these miraculous Goddesses. Grape Distillate. A way of asking them to oversee the cycle of the vine, its fruit, its nectar. Simply to continue their dance around the sun.
