Among the restoration efforts of the historical elements that most strongly characterize this territory is the recovery of the stone basins. These highlight the crucial role of water as a local resource and reveal its many uses.
In the past, some of these collection basins served as washhouses, others were used for producing copper-based treatments for the vineyards, while others functioned as storage tanks, crayfish ponds, or simple watering troughs.
Today, several of these basins can be admired within the garden, where they have taken on a renewed ecological role, providing sustenance for wildlife. Particularly noteworthy is the rich presence of amphibians (newts, salamanders, frogs, common toads, and green toads), which, together with birdlife, are among the main beneficiaries.
All the basins are interconnected, and water is carefully conveyed from one to another without waste, eventually reaching the borro, where the overflow runs naturally.
Altitude: from 530 to 650 m above sea level.
Spontaneous plants: mint, Carex, Arundo, Typha, Juncus, ferns, willows
