The location of the dive is suggestive, it is the ancient Roman city of Sinuessa , founded in 296 BC and sunk below sea level around the 9th century AD. The liqueur chosen for this experiment was Elixir Falernum , based on berries and 3-year-aged brandy, whose name is inspired by the territory of Ager Falernus, a colony of the Roman Empire.

The particular microclimate that is generated on the seabed seems to create optimal conditions for the maturation of liqueurs, just as already happens for wines, thanks to various factors: constant temperature, total absence of light and oxygen, movement of the currents and waves that cradle the bottles and complete shelter from the lunar phases.



The crate containing the bottles of Elixir Falernum will remain at sea for 5 months before being brought back to the surface. We would like to thank the Associazione Arma Aeronautica-Sezione di Caserta and the Port Authority for their collaboration in the scientific evaluations.

The presence of personnel from the Italian Army and the State Police is linked by relationships with the Antica Distilleria Petrone which has paid homage to both forces with a limited edition. The prized Guappa liqueur , in fact, made with buffalo milk and 3-year-old brandy, is proud to carry the brand of both the Armed Forces, with “Liquore Esercito Italiano 1659” and the State Police, with the new “Liquore Polizia” , launched on the market on 18 June with the slogan of responsible drinking: “If I drive I don’t drink, if I drink I don’t drink”.
