Rocca di Frassinello: A Journey of Wine, Design, and Stars.
Overview
This is the only experience that allows guests to encounter Rocca di Frassinello as a true work of art: the world’s only winery designed by Renzo Piano, where contemporary architecture, Etruscan heritage, and exploration of the stars guided by an astronomer come together in a way impossible to recreate elsewhere.
The experience is designed to unite, in a single journey, elements found only here:
- Renzo Piano’s architectural masterpiece
- The Etruscan archaeological heritage beneath the hill
- The identity and elegance of the wines of the Tuscan Maremma
Renzo Piano chose this site for its purity of light, the clarity of its horizon, and the depth of its history. The winery is essential, sculpted into the landscape, designed to dialogue with territory, shadow, and proportion.
This exclusive itinerary blends architecture, enology, mindfulness, and landscape into a sensorial immersion reserved for a limited number of guests — a rare encounter with a place that could exist nowhere else on earth.
