Project Abyss
Project Abyss is an experimental approach to aging sparkling wine beneath the sea. At depth, constant low temperatures, natural pressure, and complete darkness create a uniquely stable environment that cannot be replicated on land. Over time, the wine evolves differently—developing refined texture, integrated bubbles, and subtle complexity shaped by the ocean itself.
Each bottle is both a product and a story of exploration, where precision diving meets craftsmanship. Project Abyss transforms the seabed into a natural cellar—raw, controlled, and uncompromising.

Batch: Villa Folini Prosecco
Submerged on 10 December and recovered on 6 April, this batch matured at a depth of 20 meters in stable 11°C conditions. The underwater aging resulted in a noticeably more rounded profile, with softened acidity and enhanced aromatic expression. The wine shows greater balance and a smoother, more integrated character shaped by its time beneath the sea.
