Functional Architecture

 

BOUTIQUE WINERY

ARCHITECTURE

The coexistence of technology and traditional materials makes the cellar both modern and functional at the same time. The building is developed on three levels divided in four different cubes and is engineered for an efficient natural flow from grape arrival through bottling. The architectural style makes a strong impact thanks to two main factors: the use of hand-broken stones from Siena for the external architectural project (by Studio Valle in Rome) and the use of a geometrical network of steel beams and glass surfaces in the interior architectural design (by the Studio of the Architect Guido Ciompi in Florence).

The Glass Floor

Experience the extraordinary at Icario. Suspended above our barrel area, our unique tasting room offers a captivating view of the winemaking process. With a ceiling made entirely of glass, visitors can indulge in tastings while immersed in the sights and sounds of our bustling cellar below. Savor our acclaimed wines as you overlook rows of French oak barrels, where tradition and technology converge to create the perfect blend of old-world charm and modern innovation.

Stairs

This staircase stands as a true work of art—a striking fusion of modernity and functionality. The sleek iron structure, combined with transparent glass panels, creates a visual masterpiece where the strength of industrial materials meets refined elegance. Floating steps, subtly illuminated, evoke a sense of lightness and continuity. The geometric precision and minimalistic design transform this staircase into a sculptural element, not just functional but an architectural statement. Positioned beneath a glass ceiling, the natural light enhances its sharp lines and materials, creating a smooth connection between the lower production area and the second floor, where art exhibitions and tasting events take place.
