The farmhouse, surrounded by thirty acres of parkland, still preserves the original architectural elements, symbols, sobriety and simplicity that characterize the area.
3) Trieste, Farmhouse La Madrugada
There are three varieties that Farmhouse La Madrugada grows and makes wine from: 
Terrano, Vitovska and Malvasia, all strictly indigenous, because they are connected to this land. They are accompanied by extra virgin olive oil, made from Bianchera variety, native to the territory of Trieste. In these places man has patiently cultivated the hard limestone soil, where the vines are grown with hard work, “drinking the scorching heat” and infusing the essence of these fields into grapes: for this reason here wine is great, deriving its essence from the red earth.
