A splendid late 19th-century wine press, among the largest and best preserved in eastern Sicily, and unique for its seaside location. A place steeped in history, where the scent of must speaks of ancient wine routes: here, ships docked to purchase the prized Nerello Mascalese, a native grape that for years supported the local economy.

Today, thanks to careful restoration, this historic space has been transformed into a refined lounge, where the sounds of Sicilian music accompany tastings of select grappas, Malvasias, passitos, international spirits, and a curated selection of the finest wines from Etna and Sicily.
