The ancients in Italy said "red wine makes good blood," and studies today confirm that a glass of wine a day improves health. But that's not all: grapes, musts and vine leaves are valuable allies for beauty too, thanks to polyphenols that counteract skin aging and improve microcirculation.
Wine therapy
From the ancient Romans to modern spas
Even grape seeds are precious: they give grape seed oil, with antioxidant, emollient and regenerating properties. The Romans and the Arabs already knew wine's beneficial properties in ancient times, using grapes in cosmetic treatments, a knowledge also used during the Renaissance.
Modern wine therapy was born in France, with treatments such as diving in the must, massage with grape seed oil and beauty masks.
Wine and relaxation combined together create a new frontier of body and mind wellness.
In Italy, many spa centers practice wine therapy: after regenerating the skin with a scrub and a red grape massage, you can indulge in a glass of Brunello di Montalcino or Chianti Classico, because health and wellbeing pass through the spirit too, and "the nectar of the gods" is always a pleasure to enjoy.
