Passato e tradizione

This is the oldest part of the entire farm buildings. The construction method invokes the architectural style typical of the sixteenth century. Wide low arch vaults made of terracotta bricks, resting on walls built of alternating lines of stones from the river Trebbia along with solid brick; structural elements typical of sixteenth century Piacenza.

Towards the end of the 800s, a priest bought the entire estates raising the house above the cellar on a narrow and long rectangular plan, three floors, topped by a tower. It was to become his summer estate. And so it was for about fifteen years.

In the silence and darkness of this place, where for centuries generations of farmers succeeded each other in wine production, where during the conflicts that marked the '900 men on the run were hid and sometimes weapons and metals too, hidden among vats and presses wood.

Grandparents Serafino and Angela were the last to use this cellar for grape processing. In the 1970s a distillery was installed there for the distillation of grappa and much of it was used as a warehouse.
