Lenzo Winery is an entirely Sicilian project founded by an entrepreneur: a passion born among the Sicilian vineyards and the smell of crushed grapes. It is precisely the love for the land and the culinary passion that gave birth to the idea of creating a winery that not only produces wine but also serves as a space designed for sharing the island's typical flavors. The great passion for our land and the incredible potential of its vineyards are the ingredients that make the wines authentic.

Our project maintains a direct relationship with the surrounding landscape, facing the sea. There is a clear vocation that underpins our work: to respect the nature, traditions, and culture of this territory. This principle guides every decision we make, from the new winery and hospitality project to vineyard operations and the finished product, all oriented towards a conscious and sustainable use of resources to always promote a balanced ecosystem. Our vision extends beyond wine production to include hospitality that enhances the authenticity of the places and the natural beauty of the area.

The Temple of Wine has been constructed entirely of natural wood, a material that respects the environment and harmonizes with the landscape. Every architectural element has been designed to reduce environmental impact and promote a deep connection between the building, people, and the surrounding nature. This approach reflects our commitment to sustainable agriculture and responsible tourism, in harmony with the ecosystem and local traditions.

Our project is driven by a clear vocation: to respect the nature, traditions, and culture of this territory. Every choice we make, from the new winery and hospitality project to the vineyard operations and the finished product, is guided by a commitment to conscious and sustainable resource use. This approach supports a balanced ecosystem, minimizing environmental impact and preserving the natural beauty and cultural heritage for future generations. By integrating sustainable practices at every level, we ensure that our impact on the environment is minimized, while simultaneously promoting the richness of local traditions. Our dedication to this philosophy is evident in every aspect of our project, from the careful selection of materials to the methods we use in cultivating our vineyards. This holistic approach not only enhances the quality of our wines but also strengthens our connection to the land and community.

Curriculum

The firm is involved in private residential construction, commercial, industrial and public works, hospitality facilities and industrial design, comprehensively managing the process of creating, from concept to site, small- and large-scale architecture. At the beginning of each creative process, guidelines for the plan composition are generally deduced from the urban fabric and, from a series of setbacks from the street wires and empty space in elevation, the architectural form. To the essentiality of compositional gestures is added the use of as many elements of contemporary language, such as folding , interlocking, volumes, projections, voids and full chiaroscuro, masses and transparencies. Moreover, the use of different external skins contributes to the detection of his projects as the result of grafting between monolithic blocks. Designing architecture is a dynamic process, a path, which pushes for continuous new discoveries.
