During 2003 work began on a new cantina for finishing and perfecting wines, at Partinico. It is situated in the area of an ancient baglio dating from the end of the 19th century, characterised by the 'San Carlo' tower from which the locality takes its name. It occupies a total area of five hectares, and includes a new bottling plant, a subterranean area containing the oak barrels for ageing, a huge area for ageing the wine in the bottle, and the new offices.
The old baglio is dedicated to wine tasting and sampling benches. The primary objective of this new project is to dedicate the greatest attention to the final phase in the creation of a good wine - its finishing and conservation.
