MAREMMA (Diary of a study trip in the new land projects wine)
The journey is the shorter. The theme of the goal, winning even if a bit 'underestimated by most, but worth a little sacrifice to see and touch the wine last structures built by some of the so-called "superstars" of the moment in the best period of postvendemmia. It is not easy
venture with a large and modern buses in the winding streets of the Maremma, but for this research first, and then the location of the various works becomes enthusiasm and pleasure. Before our eyes, we are gradually succeeding images of daring achievements, respect, different from one another by shape, style and economic engagement.
This short travelogue describing them so briefly, but perhaps part.
Friday, October 22, late morning. We arrived late around Bolgheri (place of memory Carducci) Ca Marcanda company owned by Gaia Piedmont and designed by Bo. Large complex and carefully camouflaged in full respect of the Tuscan landscape. Almost entirely filled and covered with natural grass, trees and local species. The good part is proposed in the emerging local stone and the loading and unloading area is protected by a complex canopy of iron and copper. Art and architecture merge into a site with a sense of balance between productivity and the environment. ( Camouflage )
After tasting duties and welcome greetings Angelo Gaia, we head Suvereto, reaching Cellars Petra
(architect Botta ) in a late afternoon light and temperature ideals. The structure, huge and majestic, there looms wedged between land, vineyards and olive trees. The visit accompanied by a bright and enthusiastic young winemaker. In its complex prefabricated structure (the owner is the prefabrication of Franciacorta Moretti) everything is made with simplicity and grandeur sending strong oni emotional sensations in the gallery of the barrel. We admire the fruit of all this technology and sensitivity. ( Monumental ). A charming inn in Grosseto, a restful night in a great hotel in the center and we are ready to face a new important day of sightseeing.
The first appointment is at the Company Via Colle Massari Montecucco wine called. Twisted streets, beautiful landscapes, and finally in the distance beyond the 'object' already stored by the magazines. To the surprise awaits us
place the designer architect Milesi. His description, accompanying her on the places that he thought confirm its deep knowledge and passion for the job. We follow a carefully guided tour of pure rationalism, premium materials, advanced equipment, respect for nature committed admire a colleague who has found the satisfaction of a correct result of international economic opportunities fostered by the great reviews, the Bertarelli the "Alinghi" (Milesi .. mata ) fascinated by so much passion, comforted by tasting and world class hospitality, we take advantage of and accept the invitation to visit Milesi, unscheduled, its jewel far: The Monastery cirtencense of SCLO. In a remote corner of Maremma, in a dominant position discover, ecstatic, a world of silence, reflection, prayer and work which the skilful hand of the architect is combining with the landscape, environment and history.
The day of visits ended with the arrival, not without some problems roadway, the large complex of Frassinello Rocca di Renzo Piano .
The image, from a distance, a red tower and modern re-evaluated as a symbol of presence, a prelude to a strong mark in the architectural landscape of the Maremma. A wall (the fort), a plate (the parade) and the tower, along with a lot of technology systems and structural surround a barrel-shaped theater as much imaginative As impressive, in the sign of true style "Piano". transpires from all major economic power, supported by foreign capital (Rothschild) and the intention expressed to produce wine of high quality and price. ( Majestic ) return in Grosseto to enjoy the beautiful autumn evening and discover a walled town, live as if it were a very popular artificial city. The streets, all pedestrian, the Square, the Cathedral, City Hall, the hotel, facing each other, are concentrated and lived in a simple organism almost drawn from the imagination of a child.
last day in good weather there on a tour of the farm "Pieve old "to Campagnatico . We expect the designer and some representatives of the Order of Grosseto.
emotion of the young designer Sartori Arch (supported in the final phase of work by a qualified Cini Boeri) in presenting his work, reveal a different reality than admired in the days before. The work is more limited budget clearly lower, but all the action is still oriented towards the search for new forms and functions with the typical dynamics of this amazing area of \u200b\u200bMaremma. (Moderate ).
The conclusion at the table at "the inn wisteria" Campagnatico (owned by the consortium Pieve Vecchia Eng. Monks) taught by a talented and charming sommelier, only confirms these feelings in fact the best. Arch
