During 2003 work began on a new cantina for finishing and perfecting wines, at
Partinico. It is situated in the area of an ancient baglio dating
from the end of the 19th century, characterised by the 'San Carlo'
tower from
which the locality takes its name. It occupies a total area of five
hectares, and includes a new bottling plant, a subterranean area
containing the oak
barrels for ageing, a huge area for ageing the wine in the bottle,
and the new offices.
The old baglio is dedicated to wine tasting
and sampling benches. The primary objective of this new project is to dedicate
the greatest attention to the final phase in the creation of a good wine - its
finishing and conservation.
