Between communication and research, the world of wine is always on the lookout for novelty. And so, while we have often spoken of bottles being aged at the bottom of the sea, and some have experimented with aging in mines (such as the one made by the Adige brand Cantina Tramin with its 2009 “Epokale”, aged in the Monteneve mine in Val Ridanna, at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, which received a 100/100 rating by “The Wine Advocate”), but now there are also those who are experimenting with aging in “ice” in a specially created igloo cellar in the mountains.

This is the curious project of the Consorzio Pontedilegno-Tonale with the Consorzio Vini di Valcamonica, Cantina Bignotti and Unimont - Università della Montagna, a centre of excellence of the University of Milan.
