How does the single factors of the underwater aging method change the wine? What if we change the pressure? Or the sea currents? or the time underwater? With One land, two seas you can discover that. The two bottles are from the same soil and undertook the same vinification process. There are only a few key differences:
One is a 2016 vintage and the other a 2020.
One was submerged in the Adriatic sea, the other in the Tyrrhenian one.
One aged at -25 meters for 12 months, the other at -52 meters for 6 months.
You will not believe how different the two wines are: in color, in taste, in evolution.
You will then believe how much the underwater aging process is relevant in winemaking.
