Wine cellars

The Italian peninsula boasts a great wealth of landscape that constitutes a heritage to be protected with the utmost dedication. In this great variety great attention must be paid to agricultural landscapes, such as vineyards. Principals are increasingly turning to designers to whom they can entrust the construction of new structures or expansions of productive and representative and reception areas, without, however, renouncing a coherent insertion of these structures in the context of reference or green areas, why not, cultivable. From intensive green roof systems to turf, with flower beds and trees, to extensive covers of native natural flowering meadow.

Cellars are the heart of the vineyard, and their architecture can become an element of modernity and reconnection with the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Here hanging greenery, with its ability to stitch with the surrounding landscape can acquire a very important aesthetic role, even in these areas where there is certainly no shortage of greenery and nature. In this case, hanging greenery can take on the connotations of the traditional garden or lend itself to giving back to nature its spaces. Thus, it will range from intensive rooftop green systems with turf and flower beds to extensive covers of native natural flowering lawns, perhaps with shrubs or hedges.

The winery, however, is not just a wine producer’s calling card, the purpose of which is to highlight the owner’s sensitivity to the environment and landscape and aesthetic taste. The winery is also a laboratory where tradition is combined with science and technology to bring to life a product as valuable as it is complex to obtain. Once again, hanging greenery is proposed as a state-of-the-art technique for its unparalleled ability to dampen diurnal and annual thermal fluctuations, cooling in summer and protecting from frost in winter, all in a natural way, without any energy consumption.
