Wine evolves in the heart of the volcanic sea

In Ischia, wine ages in the depths of the Mediterranean, protected and traced at every stage.

The first volcanic sea platform

Ischia, a cellar
without walls

In the heart of the Regno di Nettuno Marine Protected Area, the sea’s naturally stable conditions welcome selected wines into a unique environment of darkness, constant temperature and deep-water pressure.

Volcanic Sea Cellar combines place, research and technology to document every stage of underwater ageing.
