The Wild Woman known in the peasant society of the Langhe, as the bearer of an ancient culture, nature and its secrets, with wisdom interspersed with popular and superstitious religion. An ancient tale describes the Wild Woman of the Langhe as “figures that represent the deepest, physical and instinctive roots of the feminine: the archetype of a free and wild, uncontaminated nature”. The concept of the Wild Woman was created and made famous by Romano Levi, an artisanal producer of signature grappa.
