The Mazzei Winery, located in Castello di Fonterutoli, Castellina in Chianti, stands out for its classic contemporary style, functions and spaces. The architect Agnese Mazzei had to face the difficulty of a very complex design: 75% underground cellar, 10,000 square meters, grape process by natural fall. The cellar suddenly appears without breaking that harmonious balance between nature, territory and ancient village.

Immersed in a beautiful hilly landscape, is the Cantina di Montalcino, a company specialized in the production of Brunello. For over 40 years it has been the only wine cooperative in the area and has as members about 100 small farms with 160 hectares of vineyards mainly producing the local grape par excellence, Sangiovese. The characteristic roof takes up the natural movement of the Sienese hills. A wooden bridge crosses the entire winemaking floor, while in the basement the wine rests and ages away from noise and lights in oak barrels and barriques. Over 50% of the cellar is underground, as usual, to allow easier temperature control and energy savings.

The Fattoria Le Mortelle owes its name to the "Mortella", wild myrtle that characterizes these coastal areas and which has also become the symbol of the company. The company belongs to the Antinori family and is located in Maremma, near Castiglione della Pescaia. The cellar is located on the top of the slight hill overlooking the estate, it is largely underground, with a view to an environmental impact as low as possible. It was built using natural materials, exploiting the thermoregulation of rocks deep in the soil.

Magliano, the village immersed in the Tuscan Maremma chosen by Frescobaldi to produce his great wines. Inaugurated in 2011 on a project by the architect Piero Sartogo, the Tenuta Ammiraglia immediately stood out among the productive realities of excellence of the territory, integrating perfectly with the surrounding environment and harmonizing with the geometries of the hills and vineyards.

It is located in Suvereto, among the ferrous hills of the Val di Cornia, and was designed by architect Mario Botta. The cellar is dug into the front of the hill and becomes part of it as if it were a definitive element of the landscape, as if it had always been there. The Petra Winery"place of ancient stones" through a radically natural cultivation method, is converting all the vineyard heritage to "organic".

The famous Bolgheri cypresses sung by Carducci are the same that still frame the village of the Livorno Maremma famous for the production of Supertuscan red wines. Since 1981, Tenuta Ornellaia has devoted great attention to the harvest phase, proceeding with the tasting of the grapes to verify the ripening of tannins and identify the best winemaking technique of each individual terroir.

South of Montalcino, on the border with the Val d'Orcia, Castello Banfi dominates the Tuscan countryside. Property of the Mariani family since 1978, it is the place par excellence of Brunello, with over two thousand hectares of vineyards surrounded by woods and olive groves. The cellar has the most advanced technologies to preserve the richness of the grapes and focuses on the search for wood, an indispensable material for the aging of wines.

The "classic" experience at Castello di Verrazzano begins with a visit full of details and curiosities in the gardens and cellar. Then follows the tasting in the rustic hall, between glasses of Chianti and delicacies, which usually consist of a rich platter of cold cuts and cheeses, concluding with Vin Santo and cantuccini. All produced organically by the company.

The Antinori Winery was born both for production reasons and to give the opportunity to a wide audience of wine enthusiasts to come into direct contact with the production philosophy of the family, offering the opportunity to see how a wine is born, from the vineyard to the bottle, passing through the winemaking and aging paths. It is a work of innovative architecture focused on the deep and rooted bond with the earth, with a low environmental impact, and high energy savings, created by the Archea Associati studio, with the engineering of Hydea, in seven years of work.
