The winery is located in the center of modern Pompeii, a few meters from the archaeological excavations of the ancient Roman city. Some remains of a necropolis are even visible from the educational vineyards surrounding the structure. The grapes are vinified using steel tanks, oak tonneaus and terracotta amphorae. The latter, produced in Tuscany, are not internally coated and are used in the vinification of part of the company's white wines. Near the cellar there is an area dedicated to food and wine tastings and catering, to allow visitors who are wine enthusiasts to try the wines after visiting the area dedicated to production.
