Yet another reason to visit the magnificent region of <\/span>Tuscany<\/b><\/span> has arrived. The <\/span>Toscana Wine Architecture<\/b><\/span> project has opened its doors to <\/span>wine<\/b><\/span> lovers and enthusiasts of <\/span>modern architecture<\/b><\/span> alike. <\/span>The project <\/span>brings together<\/span> some of Tuscany’s great wineries with several of the most noted names of modern architecture <\/span>including<\/span> Renzo Piano<\/b><\/span>, <\/span>Mario Botta <\/b><\/span>and <\/span>Tobia Scarpa<\/b><\/span> to transform the look of these local wine estates.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"toscana<\/a><\/p>\n

The unifying theme for each of these designer wineries is a deep respect and eye for the principles of <\/span>eco-friendly <\/b><\/span>architecture<\/b><\/span>. Here attention has been paid to a reduction in energy consumption and the use of local materials used in the building process. Several of the wineries involved in the project have also created modern art exhibits which can also be viewed by visitors to their estates.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fourteen Tuscan wineries participated in this project and a <\/span>stop at<\/span> these splendid works of modern architecture is surely worth a visit.
