Il Covo – Red Wine that Tames the Beasts
In the realms of ancient Greek mythology, Sicily was the land of the Cyclops, and within a cave known as ‘il covo,’ dwelled the most famous and feared of them all: Polyphemus. As legend has it, he met his match in Odysseus, who cleverly used a fine local wine to disarm him. We like to think our red wine is equally impressive. That’s why the visage of Polyphemus graces the label of ‘Il Covo,’ a testament to its captivating allure.
