Descend into an extraordinary underground wine city stretching across 53 hectares, where an impressive network of streets and galleries extends for around 120 km, reaching depths of approximately 80 metres. Originally created from former limestone quarries, the underground galleries provide ideal natural conditions for wine storage and maturation.
