The Wreck
The Paguro was a methane extraction platform.
During drilling operations, an explosion caused it to sink.
The structure remained on the seabed,
about twelve miles off the coast of Ravenna.
Over the years, the metal has transformed.
Sponges, corals, crustaceans, and fish
have colonized every surface.
What was once an industrial accident
is now one of the most remarkable underwater oases in the Adriatic.
In the profound depths of the sea
A cycle of twelve moons, during which the wine matures in unparalleled conditions
The reemergence
Each bottle, when it returns to the surface,
is no longer the same, not altered, but patiently awaiting.
Bearing the traces of its journey, from earth to sea,
it emerges, singular and unique.
Through the Bottle Identity
it is possible to discover the story
of each immersion.
