The cellar was built using a structure of masonry walls and semicircular arches, an ingenious construction system that distributes weight towards the sides and gives the building great stability, allowing it to withstand the passage of time.

Inside, the cement fermentation tanks immediately attract attention. These were the silent guardians of the wine as it fermented and developed its unique character. The small ventilation openings set into the walls served a vital purpose: regulating temperature and ventilating the space, while preventing the build-up of gases produced during grape fermentation.

Looking up at the ceiling, visitors can see the openings known locally as pezoneras, through which the must flowed down after being deposited and trodden in the lagar —the traditional wine press— located directly above. Every element of this cellar reflects the practical wisdom and ingenuity of Bargota’s former winegrowers, who knew how to combine functionality, strength and a touch of magic in every corner.
