structure with a harmonious shape, the oldest part of which dates back
to the Renaissance whilst the regularizing intervention of a neo-classic
restoration is evident. The cellars are located underneath the villa,
the vat room is divided into two large rooms covered by vaults supported
by pillars. The wood ageing cellars are situated in smaller areas connected
by narrow winding passages. Grignano mills its olives in its own oil-mill
situated inside the farm. The oil storage room contains, amongst other
things, eighteenth and nineteenth century basins and oil-jars.
