City of Wine
It took about thirty years of reflection to define the outline of a project to honor wine, and almost three years of work for this curious building to emerge: the City of Wine. Open to the public, the ground floor houses a cellar containing over 800 references from around the world as well as a shop. But it's on the 2nd floor that things get really interesting. A permanent 3,000 m2 exhibition which, thanks to digital and interactive technologies, innovatively retraces the epic of wine culture and its 8,000 years of history. But the visit wouldn't be complete without a proper tasting. The top floor room, with a ceiling covered with nearly 4,000 bottles, offers a breathtaking view of the city and the river. And don't forget to enjoy a glass of wine at the stunning Belvedere bar. A truly unique experience that will delight all wine lovers!
