Vigna delle matite colorate
Museum | Cella Monte | Piemonte | Italy
The "Vigna delle Matite Colorate" in Cella Monte, a picturesque village in the Monferrato area of Piedmont, is a unique vineyard installation that combines creativity with the tradition of winemaking. Inspired by the "Vigna dei Pastelli" in Coazzolo, the local wine company "Cinque Quinti" created this installation by placing over 40 oversized, handmade and painted wooden pencils in the vineyards. These colorful pencils replace the traditional wooden stakes that support the vines, giving the vineyard a lively and artistic appearance.
The installation stretches across the hills around Cella Monte, offering visitors a fascinating sight that combines the natural beauty of the vineyards with artistic expression. The colorful pencils, painted in the colors of the regional wines, create a vibrant contrast to the green landscape and invite visitors to take a stroll through the vineyards.
This initiative reflects the region's commitment to integrating art and culture into winemaking, providing visitors with a unique experience. The "Vigna delle Matite Colorate" is an example of the creative merging of tradition and innovation in Piedmont wine production.
