CEVIV 2.0: Second Expansion of the Susegana Winery
The project involves the expansion of CEVIV’s industrial winemaking facility. A key reference point for Prosecco production in the province of Treviso, the company operates as a connecting link between winegrowers and bottlers, handling the processing of supplied grapes and their transformation into must, wine, or sparkling wine according to specific production requirements.
The production complex in Susegana has undergone, in recent years, a multi-phase expansion process entrusted to REISARCHITETTURA, initially appointed for the first phase of expansion and subsequently commissioned to design a further extension of the winery.
The first project, carried out in two phases between 2016 and 2017, increased vinification capacity through new tank platforms and an office building, located within an industrial area subject to landscape constraints due to the presence of the former “Il Barco” industrial archaeology complex. In agreement with the local authorities and the Superintendency, the project addressed visual impact by defining a unified volume, characterized by a cladding of green-painted perforated aluminum panels, capable of mitigating the perception of the facility while providing a clear and orderly architectural identity. The exposed concrete plinth, produced using textured formwork, further reinforces the material quality of the ensemble.
Building on this experience, REISARCHITETTURA was later commissioned to design a second expansion project, which includes the construction of a new production unit for winery use with a total capacity of 55,000 hectoliters, alongside a service building housing changing rooms, laboratories, offices, and a tasting room, as well as a system of canopies and functional connections to the existing buildings. The new intervention is conceived in continuity with the previous one, adopting the same materials and compositional principles, reinterpreted to meet new functional and dimensional requirements.
The three-story service building takes on the role of representative frontage for the new complex along the access road, featuring a concrete plinth cast with textured formwork and upper floors wrapped in green perforated aluminum panels, consistent with the language of the first expansion. The new winery, constructed with a prefabricated concrete structure and a laminated timber roof, is organized to ensure continuity of production and logistical flows, with doors and circulation routes aligned with those of the existing facility.
Overall, the project confirms an approach based on functional clarity, careful consideration of the relationship between architecture and the industrial context, and the construction over time of a unified identity, in which successive expansions integrate as parts of a coherent system.
