Abstract
Paradiso di Frassina, Montalcino, Tuscany: vines have ears and a taste for Mozart’s best symphonies. Tavernelle, Tuscany, same owner. It is where a new, unmatched winery blooms embracing a commercial, social and an artistic dimension. The concept of diffusing music through speakers is maintained and surpassed by the introduction of a Music Hall within the winery that claims to be a prototype for a better development of a stimulating “Architecture of wine”. Live music does not only reach the ears of music and wine lovers as they visit the winery; it also knocks on the wooden frames of the oaks, conferring to every drop of wine a musical note to compose a melody that can be heard, smelled and tasted in the glass of wine. Architecture plunges the visitor into the experience of the senses along the visit. Tectonics shapes the ambiances of the place, enriching the architectural promenade. The project aims for being counted in the restricted circle of wineries designed with rationality and the right hint of flair in the era of “Architainment”, respecting and exalting the historical and cultural heritage of a millennial ritual rooted in its terroir.
