Starting from 2015 vintage the word ‘Vigna’ has been added to underline the Cru status of the wine. The rest of the name "Il Cantico della Figura" is composed by “Il Cantico” and “della Figura”. “La Figura” refers to the church in Apiro dedicated to Our Lady of Mercy, popularly named the Church of the "Figura", since in Apiro, and indeed not only in Apiro the small shrines or niches containing a statue or a painting or fresco of the Virgin Mary or a saint, are named "figure" or using its diminutive "figurette". The Church of "La Figura" represents for the citizens of Apiro a center of devotion, which they wish to visit seeking assistance and protection. The appellative is a tribute to the icon of our extraordinary homeland.
