Barricaia
The project was carried out inside the prefabricated warehouses of the cellar with the aim of building a place that knew how to celebrate the rite of the rest of the wine and that of its tasting.
The barrels, as actors of a representation, are so arranged on a bed of black gravel on the three sides of a central space defined by the barrels themselves and marked by a false ceiling shaped in slats of burnt larch. The last side houses an oak wall that can accommodate up to 1400 bottles, screened by two large barriques.
The sense of continuity between production and aging was pursued by bringing inside the barrique old and ruined objects from the farms of the estate. In particular, the lighting was realized with old hanging lamps gathered in the middle of the space, recovered from old barns. Their positioning and downward-oriented light, which overshadows the real ceiling, give emphasis on the place and simultaneously complete the architectural transformation of the poor and sparse building box (walls in concrete blocks and ceiling in predalles) which contains the setting.
