Discover a hidden world beneath Monte dei Cocci in Rome’s Testaccio district. Once ancient food cellars carved into a hill of broken Roman amphorae, these underground caves now host an exclusive tasting of four Lazio wines paired with artisanal cheeses and cured meats aged on-site. Constant temperatures of 10–15°C create the ideal microclimate for slow, natural maturation, giving the products deep aromas and unique character. Walk through vaults lined with aging cheeses, hanging prosciutti, and rotating art installations before taking your seat at communal tables. Taste expressive local wines such as Cesanese, Bellone, Grechetto, and Malvasia Puntinata, each paired with rare cheeses like Conciato di San Vittore and buffalo-milk Caciottina from Amaseno, along with premium cave-aged guanciale and prosciutto. More than a tasting, this is a journey into Lazio’s forgotten traditions, where food, wine, and history come alive beneath the heart of Rome.
