THE CELLAR: here the hand-picked fruits become prodigious wines. Star vaults, ancient walls, this is the holiest place, where the last rite before bottling takes place: maturation. Inside wooden and steel barrels, the wine slowly acquires all its flavors and personality. Every inch of that underground world tells the story of this cellar, the result of an architectural recovery that preserves the links between past, present and future.
