Tenuta Del Paguro was born from a research project that began in 2008.

Since then, we have explored how the sea can become part of the wine's passage through time.

At around thirty meters below the surface, the wine encounters natural conditions that are difficult to reproduce on land: darkness, temperature, pressure, and the slow movement of the currents.

In this environment, the wine continues its evolution.
The sea completes the work of man.

In 1965 a violent explosion struck the Paguro offshore gas platform, off the coast of Ravenna.

The structure slowly sank and settled on the seabed
.
Over time, the iron changed its destiny.
Algae, mollusks, crustaceans and fish colonized the structure,
transforming it into a natural reef,
a rare phenomenon in the sandy seabeds of the Adriatic.
Today the area is a protected marine oasis.

It is here that our bottles are immersed.
A place born from a fracture, which over time has become a living ecosystem.

The relationship between wine and the sea in these lands is ancient.

In Byzantine Ravenna people spoke of “salty wines”: wines made from sun-dried grapes and, in some cases, brought into contact with seawater to preserve them during long journeys.

It was an empirical knowledge, born from the experience of merchants and sailors of the Mediterranean.

Tenuta Del Paguro draws from this memory and brings it into a contemporary dimension: what was once intuition has become study, enological research and scientific observation.

Before the sea, there is the land.

The vineyards of Tenuta Del Paguro lie on the hills of Riolo Terme, near the landscape of the Vena del Gesso Romagnola.
Clay and limestone soils give the grapes their natural minerality and delicate salinity.

We cultivate native varieties such as Albana and Sangiovese alongside international grapes like Merlot and Cabernet.
The vines are trained using the Guyot system and the harvest is carried out entirely by hand.
This is where the wine begins.
The sea will change its time.
