UWW BALDERO CHIANTI CLASSICO DOCG 2019

Carus embraces innovation with Jamin UnderWaterWines, the first Italian company to pioneer underwater wine cellaring, to present UWW BALDERO CHIANTI CLASSICO DOCG 2019, the first Chianti Classico aged underwater in the sea.​ In a first phase, which began at the end of 2023, the project involved the immersion of 40 bottles of Baldero Chianti Classico DOCG 2019, immersed off the coast of Portofino, which confirmed the validity of the unique and highly sustainable sea refinement process, capable of characterizing its refinement. The process gives the wine a complexity and elegance towards tertiary aromas typical of long maturation which converge in a harmonious tasting complexity. At the beginning of autumn 2024 we immersed 500 bottles that will remain at depth for approximately 12 months. The wine will therefore be available, sea conditions permitting, in autumn 2025.
