The "terrana" house Scudero, dating back to the 17th century, consists of a single low floor that protected it from the frequent seismic shocks of the volcano but at the same time makes it an integral part of a breathtaking landscape. From the vineyards located around the house, ancient century-old plants stand out and, in the background, the view of the Ionian Sea stands out. On the large terrace in front of the house, the ancient cistern with a hexagonal neck, carved in lava stone, in which rainwater collected from the roofs through the "gutters" made the house livable even in the months of drought, is still present. When the baron with his family in tow, to escape the summer heat, loved to take refuge in the countryside. On the sides of the terrace stood a centuries-old hackberry and there is still a wisteria that shades the masonry seats decorated with coats of arms of the house graffitied in the plaster. These details inspired, 100 years later, the labels of the white wines that in 2020 overlook the Italian wine scene. The place that more than any other characterized the days of October was the wine press and the cellar: the beating heart of the winery. The harvest and its magical ritual, the culmination of an entire year: when teams of harvesters alternated to unload the grapes from the baskets into the wine press for the first pressing. Here, year after year, the natural alchemy was renewed in which the fruit becomes a drink, to mature and refine in the large barrels waiting for the other ritual, that of tasting, a tradition of St. Martin's day. This cycle has been repeated for about four hundred years.
