Its story

In the constellation of the Sails, an orange star of warm tone shines with the measured grace of mature stars. Its light began its journey 224 years ago, when Beethoven was premiering his first sonatas and the French Revolution was drafting decrees by candlelight. Cooler and broader than our Sun, its colour recalls a wood fire dying down slowly without losing its dignity.
