THE EXCLUSIVE METHOD OF UNDERWATER OAK AGEING

CONSTANT TEMPERATURE

The underwater microclimate is characterized by a constant temperature, a natural air conditioning system ideal for the aging of wines

ABSENCE OF UV RAYS AND OXYGEN

The underwater darkness protects the wines from harmful UV rays and the osmotic and micro oxygenating process favors their longevity

SEA PRESSURE

The powerful pressure exerted by the sea on wines at a depth of 48 meters gives them unprecedented nuances and a unique complexity

WAVES AND CURRENT

The wave movement generated by the submarine currents favors the integration of adducts inside the liquids, guarantee of gustatory harmony

SICILIAN MASTERPIECE

Each bottle is a unique piece, made even more precious by the application of an exclusive brass seal made by hand with the traditional technique of cantilevering with rod and pointed by the famous Naples Brothers, masters and custodians of the Opera dei Pupi Catanese, proclaimed by Unesco Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
