A meeting point for discovering, tasting and exchanging views on the world of wine, through a guided and personal experience. Leading that experience are the sommeliers, the protagonists of the area and the keepers of every label’s story. They accompany guests in discovering the wines on show, recounting their identity, their terroir and what makes them singular.

No/Low Alcohol
Beyond the boundaries of wine
The new frontier of mindful drinking finds its place in the No/Low Alcohol section, dedicated to wines and beverages with little or no alcohol content. An internationally fast-growing trend that combines taste, quality, and moderation.
These products are the result of careful oenological and technological research, preserving aromas, freshness, and complexity, and offering a complete tasting experience even to those who choose lighter consumption.
In a market increasingly focused on wellbeing and lifestyle, No/Low Alcohol represents an invitation to discover new balances – without giving up the pleasure of the glass.

Amphora Experience
Rotunda, 1st Floor
A return to origins to look to the future. The section dedicated to Amphora Wines celebrates an ancient technique, rediscovered and embraced by producers in search of authenticity, purity, and a deep connection with raw material.
Vinifying and aging in terracotta amphorae allows the wine to breathe slowly, without absorbing external aromas, enhancing the structure, freshness, and transparency of the fruit. Each sip reveals a unique balance between tradition and innovation, where the hand of man guides nature without overpowering it.
