cellar expansion
greve in chianti (fi)ongoing
The project involves the expansion of an existing winery in Greve in Chianti, one of the most renowned and significant towns in the Chianti countryside. This expansion is conceived as a true graft that integrates seamlessly into the hillside, forming a dialogue with the existing structure and establishing a respectful relationship with the natural and built environment, never imposing.

The winery blends into the hillside to house the aging and storage areas, while it emerges above ground in the spaces dedicated to vinification. The connection with the enchanting Chianti landscape is both physical and visual: the two barrel vaults, whose sections are defined by a continuous line that curves to shape the vinification spaces, rise and extend from the hillside, offering visitors panoramic views of the gentle surrounding landscape.

Simultaneously, the double vault made of reclaimed red bricks, vibrant under the sun with its play of irregular shadows, is visible from the road, immediately recognizable as a space for work and production, clearly revealing its primary function.

The new winery is part of a broader project for the redevelopment of the entire village, which includes the functional transformation of existing buildings and the creation of a park as the main feature of the project. The overall goal is to preserve the architectural and landscape language of the area as much as possible, including the use of new plant species consistent with the local flora.
