In the Serra da Canastra region, the winery extends from the vineyard itself, allowing the experience of producing and tasting wine to happen within the landscape. The architecture follows the rhythm of the vines, with pillars that echo their stems and volumes that open to the sun without casting unnecessary shadows.
