WINE, EARTHLY PLEASURE.

More than 4000 years ago Gilgamesh reigned in Uruk, of which numerous vicissitudes are told in the very ancient “Epic of Gilgamesh”, a document found in Persia ..

Among others, it is narrated that following the death of his trusted friend Enkidu, the King, having thus interfaced for the first time in a close manner with the end of earthly life, could not help thinking that that fate would then also befall him hopelessly.

However, he looked for the remedy and how, far and wide, unfortunately without finding any.

Despite this, however, he found inner peace thanks to an answer that was given to the umpteenth question on how he could have avoided the fateful moment.

To give it to him by Siduri, a divinity from winter, woman of wine, who with the wisdom and patience that distinguished her gave him an explanation that has never passed, always current:

“Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying? You will never find the eternal life you are looking for. Because when the gods created man, they gave him death and held life firmly in their hands. Gilgamesh, fill your belly, party day and night, may your days be filled with joy, dance and play day and night. He wears clean clothes, washes your garment, and takes baths. He looks at the child holding your hand, and let your wife enjoy your embrace. Only this is given to man to do..

That men enjoy earthly pleasures in life, without thinking about an uncertain tomorrow, perhaps drinking good wine, which is known, drives out all thoughts ..

 

 

In this fascinating experience, the Teds will welcome guests to Tenuta La Favola, in Noto, where numerous varieties of organic red and white wines have been produced for decades, in a familiar environment.

They will follow them on a visit to the company, including historical stories, explanations of the techniques used in production; to then reach the cellar, where you will immerse yourself in the aromas and flavors through a tasting of three varieties of red wine and one of white, accompanied by bread seasoned with olive oil strictly produced at the estate.
