This wine is dedicated to the ancient inhabitants of our cellars, carved into the tuff— a porous volcanic rock formed from consolidated ash and debris, known for its ability to regulate humidity and maintain optimal conditions for wine aging. During excavations, numerous traces of prehistoric elephants were discovered.
