Why the name Hannibal?

Legend has it that about 2000 years ago the person in charge of transporting the grapes from France to Italy was an elephant, his name? Nothing more and nothing less than Hannibal. It is not known if making terminology to Anibal Barca, who remembering one of his best military exploits crossed the Alps with 38 elephants to conquer Italy from Hispania and flanking the Pyrenees

The name of the wine is nothing more than a dedication to the one who was responsible for transporting these precious grapes from one country to another.
