In the courtyard outside the winery there is a covered area for refreshments from which you can admire Bacchus-the God of Wine and various grape cones carved into the tuff, antique wrought-iron chandeliers and the extensive display of production products: yellow and red piennoli tomatoes, multiple braids of garlic and onions, crates filled with pumpkins and zucchini and antique straw trays used to dry dried figs.
Love Basin
mmediately after the entrance, it is possible to catch a glimpse of the first "Palmento" (ancient basin where grapes were harvested) now open to create a very atmospheric corner.
The closed mouth
At the bottom there are traces of an ancient "scilaturo" (a vent that led to the back side of the mountain) which was sealed in the past to prevent flooding.
The must vat
The second "palmento" was used for the collection and fermentation of must. The latter reached there by gravity, as this tank is placed in a lower position than the adjacent ones.
The cave of the winepress
Particularly striking is the area where the third "palmento" is located. You will find the ancient winepress that was used to squeeze the pomace after fermentation.
The fireplace area
The fireplace area is a side aisle of this extraordinary underground "basilica," where antiques and a chest containing multiple "family mementos" can be found.
The hidden cave
A tiny cave, once used for wine storage and aging, now houses an ancient Neapolitan nativity scene.
