A volume of this size calls for careful design, developed around the collection and the way the cellar will be used.
The arrangement of the bottles, the presence of Magnums and special formats, the lighting and any tasting area are assessed on the basis of the available configurations, in order to strike a balance between capacity, accessibility and comfort.
The site visit serves to check the available space, the conditions of the site and the logistics involved in moving the elements, which are assembled on site. Depending on the model and the depth chosen, Showine specifies the dimensions needed to prepare the excavation correctly.
The structure and interior fittings follow set configurations; during the design phase, accessories or later additions can be considered. If the conditions of the room require it, provisions for a forced climate control system can also be considered, to be defined according to the characteristics of the site.
When the project involves architects, interior designers or firms already appointed, Showine acts as a specialist partner, providing drawings and technical guidance so that the cellar is properly integrated into the overall project.
In the Helicave range, alongside Maxi Oval, Oval Plus is also available, with dimensions of 4.00 × 2.77 metres, depths of 2.25 and 2.50 metres, a capacity of 1,900 to 2,100 Bordeaux-style bottles and installation in 10 days, excluding excavation.
The choice depends on the current size of the collection, its possible growth, the kind of experience desired and the space in which work is possible. The comparison takes place during the consultation, always starting from the actual conditions of the site.
