Tuscan Wine Architecture

TWA is a network of companies, established in 2017, which brings together 14 design wineries (Cantina Antinori, Caiarossa, Cantina di Montalcino, Castello di Fonterutoli, Colle Massari, Fattoria delle Ripalte, Il Borro, Le Mortelle, Petra, Podere di Pomaio , Rocca di Frassinello, Salcheto, Tenuta Ammiraglia - Frescobaldi, Tenuta Argentiera) first example in Italy to enhance wine, architecture and tourism. Buildings of the highest architectural quality that express a renewed aesthetic relationship between the production space and the worked product, which are not only an expression of functionality, but are capable of expressing an emotion, an idea, their own vision of the world. Some are signed by great masters of twentieth-century architecture (including Mario Botta and Renzo Piano), others are the expression of design choices that favor bio-architecture, experiment with innovative ways of integrating new technologies in the field of energy and reduce the 'environmental impact. A group of large companies that joins because they believe in an even bigger company: to promote a vision of contemporary Tuscany that lives up to what the ancestors were able to leave us as gifts. New custodians of a landscape that is a real world heritage site.
