New winery Corte Capitelli

A hidden gem in the Vicenza Prealps: the winery Corte Capitelli rises in the golden basin of Selva di Montebello, a natural amphitheater facing south-east and characterized by a particular soil of volcanic origin with a typical red coloration, in which the vineyards enjoy a perfect microclimate for cultivation.

This project is born from a dream shared by the Marchesini Family that translates into their vineyard the meeting between the tradition of the past, the technical and sustainable innovation of the present and the vision of the future.

Of their new winery, entirely designed and curated by the architect Giorgio Gallo, they say: 

In architecture light is fundamental, it is the starting point. It is the light that makes the spaces, you must know how to listen to it and channel it, without light there is no architecture.

At the main entrance, welcomed by the reception area, we turn right and enter the bathroom dedicated to the winery guests, a space characterized by a climate of naturalness.

The material surfaces of this bathroom harmoniously combine the internal setting with the surrounding external territory, a service room that we designed by spreading a sense of continuity and coherence: the essence of the nature of the landscape that characterizes the winery has in fact been transferred and translated in a modern and essential key into the bathroom for visitors, of which I leave you the photos below.

Full-body stone-effect porcelain stoneware slabs wrap the flooring and compose the vertical cladding. The same material has also been used to create the washbasin which seems to be a real block carved into the stone, even if characterized by a practicality that only porcelain stoneware can give, which we have combined with a natural oak wood shelf, with light and bright tones, that runs along the entire wall.

To complete the furnishing, a large circular mirror and stainless steel taps.

Heading towards the beating heart of Corte Capitelli, where the wine rests in the barrels and the bottles are stored and wait to be opened, we arrive in the tasting room from which we enjoy a beautiful view of the vineyards.

For this area, which hosts the key moment of wine tasting, we designed a room that includes a bathroom dedicated to ladies and one dedicated to gentlemen, with a common anteroom in which we placed two freestanding washbasins that interrupt the linearity of the large wooden shelf by emerging from it for a very impactful three-dimensional volume. We also tried to recreate a scenic effect with the help of light; a LED strip runs along the counter-wall clad in stoneware, thus highlighting the different thicknesses and the anthracite gray pieces that make the surface irregular, recalling that of natural stones.

As you can see, the materials chosen for the reception bathroom have been brought exactly the same into this room of the winery, to give coherence and a single style.

The staircase that from the cellar room, where the steel barrels are located, accompanies us to the vinification rooms has been decided to be made in porcelain stoneware, a stain-resistant and durable material that does not absorb and allows practicality and easy cleaning, fundamental characteristics for a place of passage and linked to food products.

We recommended a dark tile, very variegated, that would mask any stains and halos and that would recall the metallized surfaces of the barrels and of the main staircase, designed by the architect Giorgio Gallo in iron.
These are large slabs in metal-effect porcelain stoneware, with warm shades of black brown, that have been worked on site by our installers and used to clad the 3 flights of stairs. The joint between tread and riser has been executed with a steel closing profile that guarantees better mechanical resistance and lowers the realization costs.

Thanks to Valentina, and to the entire young and dynamic team of Corte Capitelli for having relied on us for the realization of their bathrooms, for having chosen us for the internal finishes in stoneware and the bathroom furnishing.
Thanks to the architect Giorgio Gallo who involved us in this beautiful project of his that he followed with passion and dedication.
And thanks also to you who have read our realization article up to here, I hope you liked the coherence of the natural materials that we wanted to take from the surrounding territory.
