VOTO NERO

Madonia Moonlight Voto Nero OST | Adam Ryax, Mario Cao

Palermo, 1282. Shepherds drank Voto Nero, the Black Oath, and rang the bells for the Sicilian Vespers. The elixir was strictly outlawed soon after, but it was too late.

In this Eau de Parfum experience, you've just sworn the oath. The wine in your hand keeps its secrets — sharp, bitter, and merciless as Etna's own soil. A burst of bitter lemon zest cuts through aromatic pine  — sweet, golden, deceptively innocent, until smoldering clove and shadowed woods rise from beneath, curling like a hood pulled low, settling like the last sweet lie before the bells start ringing.

Enthusiastic. Merciless. Quietly unstoppable. 

Tap play above to pass that fiery wine. Immerse yourself in the last great night before the uprising, through an original soundtrack chanted with this Eau de Parfum experience, music and lyrics by Adam Ryax and Mario Cao, also available on Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal: 

“Madonia Moonlight”

And keep scrolling. In the next section, you will discover the truth behind the Shepherd's Oath in the full Origin Story: Voto Nero.

“In the distance, Paulus could see the village, where the same day repeated itself endlessly: the sun rises. The flock goes up the mountain. You wait for the season to turn. You watch the clouds. You watch the wind. You watch the mountain.

For a man as stubborn as any southerner, time was never a line running forward. Time was a circle, like the path the flock walked every day, like the old stone walls on the mountainside, like the ferula blooming again each spring.

And in time, he too would come back.”
