[11] The winemaking area is a wooden box, buried for 2/3 of its volume, and covered by a light cage of pillars and beams in white concrete that rise from the vineyard and rest almost temporarily above the underground structure.
The structure results from a design focused on energy saving, green building, and bioclimatic engineering, which influenced the choice of components and materials.
These natural methods also help maintain the internal microclimate essential for the various stages of wine production, including recycling process water needed for field irrigation.
[13] The natural climate control of the barrel room is achieved through ventilated ducts that can be opened at night to initiate air circulation, and once closed during the day, they ensure a thermally stable environment as required for wine aging.
Also designed by architect Milesi, the new monolithic buildings are covered with ventilated facades made of cedar wood and zinc-titanium, two recurring materials in the overall winery project.
