What you will see?
The Fermantation Cellar
In this cellar the grapes arrive just harvested. The months in which we use that winery are September and October. In these part of theyear the grapes ferment, releasing an incredible fruity scent in the air. Visitors who are in those months as well as you can see the various processes of wine, will also have the opportunity to smell the fresh grape must which will give life to our great wines. In this cellar the wines will keep until the following spring, when it will then be poured in the underground cellars for final maturation.
The Olive Oil Cellar
Before entering in the underground cellar is “required” to pass from orciaia, which is the room where we keep our “green gold” the extra virgin olive oil, which has received several awards all over the world. Inside the room called “orciaia” we store olive oil inside the century-old terracotta jars. In the same room, lots of photos illustrating the various stages of collection and pressing of olives.
Wine Cellars “Barriccaia”
At the beginning of the aging cellar, we have the first barrique made expecially with american oak. Here we have the younger wines of our production.
The “welcome” tasting
Also in the first part of the cellar is customary to serve a first wine from our cellar. Normally it is a rosé wine or one of our white, sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, pinot grigio.
The barrels cellar
The wine cellars are located under the castle. Originally part of the cellar was a medieval dungeon. Today “prisoners” are oak barrels and barriques and still tuns used to age our wines. Tour guides will be happy to give you informations about our wines and oils. Another cellar you can visit is the olive oil cellar, called “orciaia”. In this room we keep in terracotta jars our “green gold” which has received several awards all over the world. You may request to tour the vineyards and olive groves to see the work involved in planting, growing and harvesting and talk with our wine and olive masters.
The Garden
If the weather is good it may be possible to take a walk in the garden
