The ancient Romans considered it a sacred plant, a symbol of longevity, so much so that a saying arose: "Why should a man die who has sage in his garden?" In the rural traditions of South Tyrol, sage has always been omnipresent, used both to flavor fatty mountain dishes, making them more digestible, and as a home remedy for daily well-being.
