♏ Scorpio - The Alchemy of the Soul

On the hero's journey, Scorpio descends beneath the surface - into the depths that few dare to explore. This is the sign of transformation, mystery, and hidden desire, where pleasure and pain mingle into revelation.

Scorpio's wines echo that same inner alchemy. They are wines of transformation - sometimes unsettling, always profound. These are the love potions of the zodiac, sensual and meditative, made for quiet nights, deep reflection, and the sweetness of decadence.

Astro-geographically, Scorpio connects with the ancient lands of the Middle East - regions that may not lead today's wine maps, yet gave birth to some of the world's most moving verses about wine. The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam still sings of the cup as a metaphor for paradise - a vessel of divine pleasure and mortal longing.

To taste Scorpio's essence, explore botrytised wines kissed by noble rot, or those born from the appassimento method, where grapes are dried before fermentation. These processes mirror Scorpio's own transformation - decay into beauty, loss into depth, mortality into magic.

In art, "decadence" described a movement at the end of the 19th century - devoted to sensation, artifice, and forbidden beauty. And so it is with Scorpio: intoxicating, sensual, and irresistible.

Throughout history, sweet wines have been revered as the highest form of winemaking. The unfermented sugars, preserved by the sun's generosity, became a symbol of light itself - liquid warmth captured forever. No wonder poets have always called wine "sweet."

Because for Scorpio, wine isn't just an indulgence - it's a ritual of rebirth.
