The Incredible Story Of Castello Di Monsanto's 300m Hand Dug Cave

Gabriele, tell me the story of Castello di Monsanto's 300-metre long hand-dug cave. Oh sure, this is a crazy story. We're talking about 1986, as displayed shows, three guys were working here, Giotto, Mario and Romolo. I say guys, but I'm talking about 70-year-old men that were basically at the end of their career and accepted the challenge by Fabrizio to build this crazy tunnel to connect the new winery to the old castle. Nowadays we have this tunnel that was basically handmade by these three men because they basically cut by hand every single brick of galestro using the wooden arches system that dates back to the Etruscan system of architecture. 20 metres at a time and it's a 310-metre long tunnel that holds our remarkable amount of old vintages that dates back so long. It's something for us, the real gold, the real story of our winery. Amazing, so just three men and how many years did it take? Six years. Six years, incredible. Yeah, unbelievable. Last week I ordered a desk on Amazon with the instruction, three pieces, I couldn't put it together and this man made this. It's unbelievable, another generation definitely. And what is funny is that these three guys were one communist, one fascist and one democratic, always drinking wine, arguing about politics during the time. They did an unbelievable job for us.
