The farmhouse, built on a hill, enjoys a southern exposure and a broad view of the surrounding valleys. The residence is approximately 1400 m2, a further 882 m2 are dedicated to the cellar, tasting rooms and garages.The property was completely refurbished in 2006; the dominant element is stone: the local travertine is linked to wood and corten steel, used for coverings and furnishings.
