The legend of the wine:
Donno zen Dorren was said to be the strongest man this side of the Simplon Pass. It was said that he could lift a table with his teeth alone. When the Saracens attempted to occupy the Simplon Pass in the 10th century, Donno was sent to stop the invaders. He impressed the Saracens with his roar alone, even from a distance.
It turned out that they had no intention to take over the pass. They were merely passing through. As a sign of peace, they allowed Donno to take the Italian wine barrels from the customs house. He tucked one under his left arm and one under his right. He grabbed another one with four fingers. Then he marched back to Brig with them.
There, it was believed that Donno had defeated the Saracens in battle. Wine was celebrated as the drink of victory. Zen Dorren then trained as a winemaker and developed his own wine, ‘Donno Zen Dorren’, which is still said to have special powers today.
