These 23 Italian Vineyards Are the Most Beautifully Designed Wineries in the Country

At the winery, you can also visit a museum dedicated to two of Zingarelli’s most successful films, Lo chiamavano Trinità (They Call Me Trinity) and Continuavano a chiamarlo Trinità (Trinity is Still My Name), with set memorabilia, other artifacts, and rarely seen photos from the shoot, making this a new film-lover’s destination in the heart of Chianti Classico. 

Nals Margreid; Nalles, Bolzano

Architect Markus Scherer designed a new headquarters for Nals Margreid, built from the same materials used to construct the production facilities—concrete, wood, and steel. His building brings together the history and tradition of the winery, whose original nucleus dates back to 1764 as the Von Campi estate (joined in 1932 by the Nals winery and in 1985 by Magrè), with the rigorous modernity of South Tyrolean architecture, all while respecting the surrounding natural environment. Later, at the 2013 Venice Biennale’s Le Cattedrali del vino (or Cathedrals of Wine) competition, this winery was honored in the interior design category. 

Cantine Pellegrino; Marsala, Trapani

The Pellegrino wineries in Marsala, founded in 1880, are among the most important of historic Italian vineyards. The modern ouverture has large halls and terraces overlooking the Egadi Islands, while the Pellegrino Towers are a beautiful example of industrial archaeology, with an existing building converted into a refined and bright panoramic hall. In the Teatro a Mare Pellegrino 1880, the Enrico Russo Memorial A Scurata event takes place each year. During this time, 12 theatrical works are staged with the Salina Genna in the Stagnone nature reserve as a backdrop, their salt flats turning pink at sunset. This stage, suspended over the water, is the only theater in the world built atop a salt flat.
