The Farm  
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.   The grape-harvest
 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.
