This building is made of three different areas. The first one is the wine-making area with vitrified concrete tanks containing about 1000 hectolitres. The other two areas contain the barrels and vats for wine aging.
this is a special building: the architectural structure, built-in inside the hill, is made of the stones coming from the surrounding vineyards. the interior vaults are the three typical Tuscan vaults: volta a croce, volta a botte e "volticina".
