“Polluce” PGI Calabria red wine from Tenuta Dioscuri. Pollux is considered the son of Zeus and brother of Castor and Helen. The affection that unites them is so strong that when Castor dies Pollux, who is immortal, decides to die too. The Dioscuri were twins, even if their mother conceived them separately, uniting on the same night first with Zeus and then with the Spartan king Tyndareus. From the union with the god Pollux was born, who distinguished himself as a boxer in the Greek Olympics. Polluce wine is long-lived, fruity with hints of cherry, fresh, aromatic and harmonious.

The union of several vines enhances the taste and aroma of the individual varietal scents.
