Modica (RG) — Four-Level Home with Pool, Experimental Vineyard and Winemaking Cellar
An extraordinary property where nature, comfort and a passion for wine come together in a single project. The land has been made fully usable through careful terracing and planting: trenches cut into the rock for the trees, 4,500 cubic metres of imported soil and 700 metres of dry-stone walls marking the perimeter.
At the front of the estate an experimental vineyard thrives with around a thousand vines, protected by galvanised bird netting: whites include Glera, Chardonnay, Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia Bianca di Candia; reds include Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon; plus table grapes such as Moscato Nero d’Amburgo, Cardinale, Regina and Italia. Three metres from the fence, 106 olive trees act as a windbreak and create a privacy screen, while a drive lined with two rows of Pinus Pinea leads to the house.
The 6×12 metre swimming pool, with diving board and ladder, is flanked by a solarium and lawn, with an automatic circulation and filtration system. Behind the house a small citrus grove with oranges, tangerines, mandarins and lemons, a centuries-old carob tree and several walnut trees complete the natural setting; the drinking water, drawn from a shared well, is of mineral quality.
The house, built in 1983 to anti-seismic standards, is arranged over four levels. The 140 sqm ground floor comprises two bedrooms, two bathrooms, living room, kitchen and veranda, with a central fireplace feeding the radiators and fine wooden window frames. The 65 sqm basement houses a taverna with solid fir tables and benches, a wood-fired oven and a craft beer corner. The lower level, six metres below ground, is a domed space dedicated to winemaking, with barrels, vats and a hydraulic press. A final room of 7.35 sqm, held at a constant 18-20°C, is devoted to bottle ageing, particularly of champenoise-method sparkling wine.
