State of the art Organic Winery
This 124.4-hectare winery is nestled in the hills of Volterra, in a location of rare beauty and enjoying unparalleled privacy and tranquility. Built between 2013 and 2019, this cutting-edge, state-of-the-art wine cellar is a true architectural masterpiece, organized according to eco-sustainable principles that are also reflected in the sublime quality of the wines. With more than 23.5 hectares of vineyards, the winery currently produces about 70,000 bottles of wine (both red and white) with plans to reach 130,000 bottles per year. Right next the business is a beautiful, fully renovated 1490s historical house, located not far from the winery and surrounded by the vineyards that also frame the swimming pool.
The property is the crowning of a dream and the result of years of work and commitment to create an activity in complete harmony with nature, harnessing geothermal and solar energy to minimize the impact on the environment and create what is, to all intents and purposes, the winery of the future.
Description of The Buildings, State and Finishes
The winery (5,600 sqm – 60,256 sq ft) was built between 2013 and 2019, designed by architects Paolo Prati and Tiziana Chierici, on top of a hill set between two valleys. The reinforced concrete structure (covered in local stone so it blends perfectly with the environment) can be compared to a Russian Matryoshka doll, as you practically have two buildings inside each other. Everything in the winery is doubled: two ceilings, two floors and two walls that create a wide corridor around the actual rooms so as to naturally regulate the temperature of the interior, which is further and scrupulously perfected with state-of-the-art heat pumps. Everything in the winery is aimed at eco-sustainability: gas is replaced with low-enthalpy geothermal energy and rainwater is collected, purified and reused. The spectacular winery also makes use of cutting-edge technology to control its systems: all the devices present, from lights to grape processing machinery, are computerized and remotely controllable through a wide array of sensors, cameras and home automation systems. The equipment used in the winery is all of the highest quality and state-of-the-art to ensure maximum production efficiency with the least expenditure of energy.
In a more private and reserved, but no less panoramic, location than the winery is the historical villa (approximately 600 sqm – 6,456 sq ft), dating back to 1490, with its annexes. The main building (made out of local stone and with a peculiar horseshoe shape) has been entirely renovated, yet maintaining its salient features, and now houses beautiful living areas and seven bedrooms with private bathrooms. Outside, the villa has paved loggias and terraces ideal for dinners or pleasant moments of relaxation. A garage is located under the villa’s main terrace.
