Voices from Around the World
Each bottle is unique, shaped by a year under the sea. You can smell the sea even before opening. The cork is wax-sealed and safe, with a rich, ocean-like scent. Soft bubbles, amber color, and a deep, smooth taste made the first sip unforgettable. It comes in a wooden box, perfect for gifting. A one-of-a-kind experience.
A refreshing rose that was buried under sea. Still fruity with a savory taste. Green apply, lemon, rose petal and cream. A nice experience. It’s fresh and a bit salty, a good match with mixed appetizers.
The packaging is a strong wooden box with a metal lock — it looks very elegant. Because the wine is aged under the sea, the bottle has things like seaweed and shells attached to it. Everything on the bottle was completely dry, with no smell or stickiness, so I felt relieved. The label is added after the sea aging, so it was clean and undamaged. The bottle looks very unique, so I think it’s perfect as a gift or for a party.
Extra-dry rosé from Goriška Brda — or better, from under it... The sugar is not too strong, the bubbles are fine. You can taste small red fruits.
When poured, it had bubbles like beer and a beautiful golden color. I could feel a mineral taste, like the sea. The smell was nutty. It was very tasty — unique, but really good. I enjoyed it with homemade hand-rolled sushi, one day after Setsubun.
A delightful rosé with a perfect balance of fruit and acidity, making it a quintessential summer sipper.
Citrus and stone fruits stand out, especially lemon peel, pear, and apple. Hints of yeast and rice malt add depth. The balance of sweetness and acidity is excellent, with a mineral finish. Great quality, enjoyable now with aging potential. It paired perfectly with lightly boiled squid, enhancing both sweetness and saltiness.
A unique sparkling wine aged first in oak barrels, then under the Adriatic Sea, where glacier waters meet the coast. The bottle often comes with natural sea elements like shells and oyster pieces, making it truly special. Delicate bubbles, low acidity, and balanced sweetness make it perfect as an aperitif or with various dishes. The wooden box adds a luxurious touch and is ideal for gifting. Highly recommended.

Certificates and Rewards
Why the sea?
Constant low temperature
At 20 metres below the surface, the water stays at a stable temperature year-round. This creates ideal conditions for ageing sparkling wine slowly and evenly.
Rich marine life
Shells and marine organisms attach themselves to each bottle, turning each one into a natural piece of underwater artwork.
Low light
Sunlight barely reaches this depth. With almost no UV exposure, the wine avoids molecular damage and matures in complete calm and darkness.
Saltwater minerals
Minerals from seawater gradually interact with the cork, allowing a small, natural exchange with the wine. This results in a higher mineral profile compared to a typical sparkling wine.
Ceaseless movement of currents
Currents gently shift the bottles, keeping the wine in motion throughout its ageing period. This contributes to Mare Santo’s lively bubbles, a refreshing taste, and a richer sparkle on the palate.
