Antinori Winery

FINE ART COLOR PHOTOGRAPHS FOR SALE OF ANTINORI WINERY, CHIANTI, TUSCANY, ITALY

Designed to have a low environmental impact and maximum energy savings, the winery is an unusual and fascinating structure. Practically invisible to the eye, the winery’s façade appears as two elegant horizontal cuts in the Tuscan landscape and its most spectacular feature is the impressive spiral staircase that connects the building’s three levels. The Antinori nel Chianti Classico winery is part of Toscana Wine Architecture, an association that unites unique and original wineries designed by famous contemporary architects.

The winery is the result of seven years of construction, designed by Marco Casamonti, founding partner of Archea Associati and engineering firm Hydea, based on the Antinori family’s specifications. The winery’s design, from its reddish-brown earth tones, to the continuity of natural building materials of terracotta, wood and Cor-Ten steel is based on the Antinori family’s profound connection to the land and their respect for the beauty of these territories that have been home to their vineyards for generations. Essential geometric forms and warm colors evoke earthy hues of the soil and merge perfectly into the surrounding landscape.
