Montalcino is one of the most important Italian wine regions and is internationally estimated for its wonderful red wine “Brunello”. Castiglion del Bosco Company with its 1750 h vineyards and woods area, is one of the largest Tuscany properties. The owner Ferragamo  wants to transform the area in a highly attractive touristic and productive centre aiming to make the visitor feel the real Tuscany agricultural life though filtered by the modern quality of hospitality. For this reason, a single area houses a winery, an agricultural center, a village that was transformed into a Hotel, some farmhouses, a golf club with club house, vineyards, agricultural cultivations, woods, lakes and rivers.
Village and farmhouses
The basic approach to the building restructuration aims to the maintenance of the existing harmony of  both shapes and external volumes that is still existing but suffering the effects of years of neglect. The new constructions are only u.g. structures intended for building services and premises for Hotel support. Also farmhouses underwent a modern eco-sustainable restructuration respectful of the existing buildings.
The winery
The intervention is of a non-invasive kind: the challenge was to realize a new and modern 20,000 cum structure for a high quality wine production while preserving the surrounding environment, namely to make it a part of the landscape. Following this principle, the wineries were designed as emulations of the typical ‘Leopoldina’ Tuscany farm, i.e.: with the typical portico and dovecot over the roof.
Golf Club
Foreseen interventions were highly essential and consistent with the environmental and landscape context, according to the following Tuscany Region rules concerning golf courses: blending the new construction shapes with soil profile by means of a reduced ground handling; enhancing natural  characteristics of the surrounding landscape; increasing  the presence of local fauna in the area; introducing of herbaceous, arboreal and shrub species adequate to the overall characteristics of the landscape.
