Villa Minelli
Ponzano
Villa Minelli is a complex of buildings dating back to the 17th century. Headquarters of the Benetton Group, it was restored between the 1970s and 1990s. The heart of the architectural design is the 5,000 square metre vineyard with its rows of Merlot, acting as a natural border between the offices and the production facilities, plus a further 3000 square metres of Carménère in the adjacent area outside the Villa.
Villa Pastega
Catena
Built in the 17th century for a noble Veneto family, Villa Pastega Manera was restructured and refurbished in the 1990s by the Japanese architect Tadao Ando. The complex is now home to Fabrica, the Benetton Group’s communication research centre. The villa is surrounded by 2 hectares of vines consisting of Merlot and Cabernet varieties.
