Elisa Talentino & Deltetto are glad to present: La masca

Art and folkloreLa masca

“We wanted to consider a delicate and sensitive women's issue linked to the mystery of femininity and the controversial folkloric figure of LE MASCHE”

Le Masche are the traditional witches of the Piedmont region.

In historical times, these witches were considered to have supernatural powers, being adept users of herbs and their properties. Their status as single independent women meant they were also often seen as dangerous, while they emanated a mythic and mysterious aura due to their temperament. This illustration is a tribute to the valiant women throughout time who were burned at the stake because they were too unique for their era and those still struggling for their rights today.

The wineryDeltetto

A great wine-growing tradition that also looks toward the future.

We've been a winemaking family since the late 19th century, when our great-grandfather first began producing Nebbiolo and Barbera in the small village of “I Lioni”, situated at the foot of the Roero hills. We carry on the family tradition today while also looking toward the future and always respecting nature and its bounty.
