What happens to wine under the water?
The wine remains submerged between 12 and 18 months at a depth of about 30 meters, maturing without altering its harmonious and rounded taste, thanks to these 4 important factors:
What makes it truly unique?
Four key factors contribute to its exceptional character. The total absence of UV rays shields the wine from light-induced alterations, preserving its integrity. A constant temperature of 10-13°C provides a stable, ideal environment for refinement. The increased pressure at 30 meters depth, from 1 bar during bottling to 4 bar underwater, enhances the aging process.
Finally, the gentle movement of the tides delivers a natural "massage," keeping the wine's molecules vibrant and alive, resulting in a one-of-a-kind product.
A Greener Method
Tenuta Del Paguro embraces a low-impact approach: underwater aging reduces land use, saves energy through natural cooling, and preserves protected marine areas, promoting respect for nature and a sustainable future.
Reduction of land consumption
The underwater refinement allows us to reduce the spaces to be reserved for the cellar and the warehouse, helping to reduce soil consumption.
Energy saving
During the underwater refinement the temperature undergoes very few seasonal changes, guaranteeing a completely natural refrigeration of the wines.
Protection of diving areas
The wines are immersed in protected naturalistic areas. We undertakes to promote their knowledge and respect, and to guarantee a very low impact on them.
