At the heart of the oldest part of the masseria stands il palmento — the stone room where, for generations, grapes were pressed into wine. Structures like this were the true engine of a working estate: every harvest converged here, carried in from the surrounding fields and turned, by hand and by weight of stone, into the vintage that would carry the farm through the year. Its thick walls and worn floors still hold the memory of that rhythm — the cycle of harvest, pressing, and rest that shaped the entire calendar of masseria life. Restoring it means preserving not just a room, but the oldest heartbeat of the property.
