Cantina Meraviglia: a declaration of love for this land
“Meraviglia”, – there could not have been a more fitting name. Nomen omen, as the ancients used to say. Not only for the beauty of the project or the landscape that hosts it, but for the very essence of this place: unrepeatable, visionary, perfectly suspended between dream and discipline, between nature and architecture, between time and intuition.
Where once stood the Cariola quarry – a rhyolite quarry active until the 1980s, later reduced to a degraded site – today a landscape is reborn. An architectural work that does not impose itself, but blends with the quarry, reflects the sea, and lets itself be embraced by the Mediterranean scrub. Here, nature is not a spectator, but the true protagonist.
The 7,000 square meters of production and technological facilities are hidden within the landscape, following its lines and respecting its identity. The very features of the quarry – such as its natural thermal inertia and constant humidity – have become a valuable resource for the wines born and aged here.
Today, Cantina Meraviglia is not only a place of production: it is an experience, a destination for hospitality and wine tourism. The two upstairs tasting rooms, the panoramic terrace overlooking the Tuscan Archipelago, and even the library of older vintages suspended above the barrel cellar are evocative spaces, designed for a wine tourism experience that captures the power of this place: the strength of the rock, the breath of the sea, and the vision of a project unlike any other.

After leaving the car, guests are escorted to the winery in the iconic Defender, along a panoramic road winding through vineyards and cork oaks. At the winery, the tour includes the barrel cellar, the library where older vintages are kept, and the vinification area with large concrete tulip tanks. The tasting takes place on the panoramic floor, offering a truly unique view.
