The construction site of the new Dievole S.p.A. group winery, located in the municipality of Castagneto Carducci (LI), is an ambitious project that combines technological innovation and respect for the surrounding environment.
This construction is not only a work of engineering, but also a symbol of the Tuscan winegrowing tradition that is projected into the future. After laying the foundations of the structure, in this article we will focus on three key moments: the reinforcement of the load-bearing pillars, the laying of the formwork and the drainage channels. These steps are crucial for the stability and functionality of the structure during construction.
The reinforcement of load-bearing pillars: supporting foundations
The reinforcement of the load-bearing pillars is the crucial element for the support of the cellar. This phase marks the beginning of the raising of the structure itself, with the pillars acting as temporary connection points with the other structural elements.
The work would not be possible without the contribution of a heterogeneous team of professionals, who with passion and expertise work together to achieve a common goal: the construction of a building that reflects not only architectural excellence, but also respect for the beauty of the surrounding landscape.




Formwork: precision and safety at the service of the structure
In the continuation of the work, another key step was the placement of the first formwork. These elements ensure that the load-bearing pillars respect the geometries required by the project and the finishes stipulated in the technical specifications.
Their role is crucial: during the pouring of concrete, the formwork contains the material until it has completely hardened, ensuring that the surface of the pillars is perfect and free of unevenness.
In addition, the design of the load-bearing partition structure gives the building optimal resistance in the event of seismic events, allowing it to absorb stresses without suffering significant damage.




Drainage: the efficiency of the water system
Parallel to the structural works, work is carried out on the installation of drainage pipes, which is of crucial importance for compliance with environmental regulations.
The pipes, which are designed to resist physical, chemical and biological agents, guarantee the proper management of waste water.
This is of vital importance to Tenuta Meraviglia, as the design of the water system not only complies with current regulations, but also ensures efficient treatment of both incoming and outgoing water. This attention underlines the project’s commitment to sustainability and care for the environment.




Ready for the construction of the first slab
These steps represent only the beginning of a path that will lead to the realisation of an extraordinary work: the structure of the Dievole winery is now ready for the construction of the first slab. In the next article we will go into this in more detail and see other interesting facts about the Tenuta Meraviglia construction site, where engineering and the art of wine meet to create a sustainable and fascinating future.
