The Winery project reinterprets the existing terrain, inevitably creating new realities that transform it, understanding and respecting the memory of the place.
The hill remains, ‘shaping’ the landscape. Simultaneously, it appears a second time, creating paths, allowing access, breaking connections, relating and making itself known, as if reinvented.
A new building is conceived, in the complexity of themes that characterize the Architect’s work, ‘observing’ the reality of the wine-growing landscape that surrounds it and that gives it so much meaning and poetry.
“Good is life, but better is the wine.” (Fernando Pessoa)
