THE ROCKS. The work for the preparation of the land has been a very demanding job. Deep drainages have been executed, using the heap of stones which was obtained during the trenching. During these works the big rocks came to the surface. The biggest ones have been left around the fields, near the vines, and have now become a characteristic of the landscape.

MONTETI is the name of the hill where part of the estate lies. The hill is exactly in front of the vines and protects them from the wind that comes from the sea. It is 425 mt (1394,36 feet) high and on the top there are ruins of roman and medieval settlements.

CABURNIO is a name suggested by Pliny the Elder (23 – 79 d.c.) which in his Natural History gives us advice of a vine that in those years was diffused in the Narbonne province, that he defines “tutissima” and that locally “carbunicam vocant”.
