"Maat is good and its value is enduring. It has not been disturbed since the day of His Creator, while those who transgress His provisions are punished. Like a path, it also stands before those who know nothing. Misdeed has not gone as far as her door. It may be true that evil can bring wealth, but the power of truth is what endures." This is the story built around a wine as deep, structured and important as Maat Aglianico DOC. Characterized by a bright and intense red color, it is a wine that, through its imposing structure wants to bring out the figure of the woman in all her inner strength. The same strength of the goddess Maat of ancient Egypt, whose meaning encompasses the ethical concepts of truth, moral rectitude, justice and balance.
