The farming operation consists of 115 hectars (about 300 acres)of
land. The most important cultivations are durum wheat, white
and red grapes, olives trees and a good portion of land dedicated
to pasture. The farm produces good quality wine and excellent
extra-virgin olive oil.
In the caves and dungeons of the old castle, which dates
back to the 14th century, there still exist the old wine cellars
and the ancient olive oil press. In this medieval environment
some scenes of the movie “ Shadow in the Sun,” directed
by Brad Mirman and starring Harvey Keitel, Giancarlo Giannini,
Claire Forlani and Joshua Jackson, were shot in May of 2004.
