Most often associated with love and beauty, Venus is also the patroness of vineyards. One of her many symbols is the white dove—an homage to the cooperative from which our wines are produced. Her beauty represents a subtle, more refined sense of power—a stark contrast to the bold and fiery flames of her husband and god of fire, Vulcan.
