Climate-controlled
wine cellars.
The exact climate of an underground cellar, in any room and with no burial works. Temperature, humidity and vibration under precision control, 24 hours a day.
The exact climate of an underground cellar, in any room and with no burial works. Temperature, humidity and vibration under precision control, 24 hours a day.
Not everyone has a basement to bury a cellar. A climate-controlled cellar solves exactly that: it actively recreates the ideal storage microclimate (a stable 12–14°C, 60–70% humidity, no vibration or light) within a bespoke room that integrates into the living area, under a staircase, in a pantry or a restaurant dining room. The same technical rigour as an underground cellar, without depending on the subsoil.
| Temperature range | Single-temperature 12–14°C ±0.5°C (standard). Multi-temperature serving 5°C–18°C (optional) |
|---|---|
| Humidity control | 60–70% RH with active ultrasonic humidification |
| Cooling | Wine-specific, anti-vibration, low-noise equipment |
| Capacity | From integrated cabinets to rooms of several thousand bottles |
| Location | Any room: living room, pantry, under stairs, restaurant or hotel |
| Insulation | High-density PIR + vapour barrier + thermal-bridge break |
| Lighting | 2,700 K UV-free LED with scene programming |
| Remote control | App with real-time reading, history and deviation alarms |
| Warranty | Annual maintenance included · coordination with your architect |
If you have a basement or space to bury, an underground cellar uses the soil's thermal inertia and lowers consumption. If you don't, or you want the cellar to be part of a living space, a climate-controlled cellar delivers exactly the same storage climate through active control, installable in any room. In both cases the result for the wine is identical.

You don't need to bury wine to protect it. You need precision.
L'Humidor · Craft and technique
It is a bespoke, fully insulated room with a wine-specific cooling system that keeps a stable temperature (typically 12–14°C) and humidity within 60–70% RH. Unlike an underground cellar, it does not need to be buried: it can be integrated into any room of the home, restaurant or hotel.
An underground cellar uses the soil's thermal inertia and requires a basement or burial works. A climate-controlled cellar actively generates that same climate with precision equipment, so it can be installed on any floor, with no major construction.
A stable temperature of 12–14°C with ±0.5°C tolerance and 60–70% relative humidity through active humidification. Multi-temperature zones (5–18°C) can be configured for serving.
No. We use low-noise anti-vibration equipment, decoupled from the racking structure. Vibration is one of the main enemies of wine ageing, so the cooling unit is isolated and acoustically silenced.
In practically any space: under a staircase, in a pantry, in a living room as a glazed feature, in a restaurant dining room or a hotel suite.
We need the dimensions of the space (even schematic), its location, the target capacity and the deadline. Joan Serrate replies within 48 hours with an initial proposal, with no obligation, online or at our Barcelona showroom.
Every cellar, cabinet or humidor is designed from scratch around your space. Write or call and we'll arrange a technical visit to study your case. No middlemen. No commitment.
