The wine cellars dispose of steel vats for the vinification process, barriques for ageing and an ideal atmosphere for refining wines.

Historically, Castelvecchio was one of the most ancient and important possessions of the Cavalcanti family. In the 15th century a villa was built over the ruins of the original castle. The logo is accompanied by a coat of arms taken from the original one in stone on the facade of the 12th century Chapel San Lorenzo, in pure Romanesque style, situated  at the entrance of the winery -estate.
