Under the Nuova Sala Paradiso vineyard stands the Cellar of Paradise. It is the underground home of our wine and was designed to evoke the atmosphere and the little streets of a village. The winery is made with a series of stone arches, rock walls decorated with frescoes, and rooms which mimic little squares. Here lie the wooden barrels that contain the Aliuva and Ursaria, the two PGI wines produced on Peppe Zullo's estate. In the Projection Room, a lovely space for wedding ceremonies and conferences, there's an ancient projector from the Cinema Paradiso in Orsara di Puglia.
A chef from Orsara, an artist and an architect have worked together to make a work of art that reflects the openness, passion and creativity of this place, with a capacity both to welcome and to contain. The Peppe Zullo's winery designed by Nicola Tramonte, with the support of the talented painter Leon Marino, was recognised at the Venice Architecture Biennale as one of Italy's “Cathedrals of Wine”. This is a magnificent location for staging one aspect of your wedding celebrations.
In the Bowels
of Paradise
“In this cellar, that is truly the bowels of Paradise, wine inebriates and grows in vitality, thanks, maybe, to the constant presence in every space, of very original, colourful artworks, full of creativity, irony and fantasy. But how are these paesant wines of Peppe Zullo? Very good!”
- Franco Ziliani
For Nicola Tramonte, collaborating with Peppe Zullo was an easy matter. Both of them are from Orsara, and both believe in the need to innovate and provide more spaces for reinterpreting our roots and promoting cultural ideas. With the creation of the Cellar of Paradise in Orsara, they have symbolically laid the first stone in constructing a community where, over the years and thanks to their example, they have steadily increased the ‘places of generative action’.
This winery awarded by the Venice Biennale is truly a “cathedral of wine”: a place for welcoming people, for sharing bread, and for conserving the precious liquid in the barrels and tasting it together when the time is right.
