New Cantina Antinori at Bargino Locality in Florence
The project for the Antinori wine works expresses, through its architecture, the nature of a product that is born and develops from the earth as the synthesis of a labor, a tradition, and a culture profoundly linked to the agrarian landscape and the natural environment.

The latter is deemed a fundamental ingredient for making wine, the structural and indissoluble element of an operating procedure that lives in osmosis with the countryside.

For these reasons the project could only develop through a profound and radical bond with the terriotry, to the point of being concealed by it and fused with it.

The building appears as a shell entirely below the ground, without a roof, walls, roads nor a parking lot; according to a design that, by concealing all of the elements usually found in the sphere of urban constructions.

It seeks an arduous but necessary reconciliation between the nature and the artificial.
