Wine Tasting and Food Pairing in Underground Cellar in Rome

Beneath Rome’s Monte dei Cocci in Testaccio lies ancient underground cellars carved into hillside amphorae, dating from the late 1500s. These caves, with a natural microclimate of 10-15°C, have been transformed into a sensory haven for cave-aging artisanal cheeses and cured meats paired with regional wines. The experience begins with a walk through dimly lit vaults lined with aging cheeses, suspended prosciutto, and art installations, creating an immersive atmosphere of history and craftsmanship. Guests enjoy a guided tasting of four local wines—Cesanese, Grechetto, Bellone, and Malvasia Puntinata. Paired with these are rare cheeses like Conciato di San Vittore & Caciottina, alongside ethically sourced cured meats such as guanciale & prosciutto, benefiting from cave aging conditions. This unique setting celebrates Lazio’s culinary traditions, blending art, history and gastronomy, offering an unforgettable experience that revives forgotten techniques and honors local biodiversity.

Please, follow these instructions: on that street, look for the building with the number 91. Be careful, because the number 91 is repeated three times along this road, so pay attention not to get confused. The venue is next to a shop with a visible tattoo shop sign.
