Tuscany, Gaiole in Chianti, wine estate Podere Riecine: bronze statue (man with letters embracing a tree) in front of the cantina (winery), built 2012 by architect Christian Jakusconek; Originally owned by the nearby Badia a Coltibuono, the wine estate went into ownership of John and Palmina Dunkley, in 1971. They made Riecine to one of the most brilliant wine estates in Tuscany. Today in ownership of Svetlana Frank, the estate with 21 ha of vineyards produces world class wines. The old cantina was removed in 2012 by the new one of architect Christian Jakusconek in futuristic architecture style. Also, lots of pop art elements were integrated. As well, art works were installed. The walls of the cantina (winery) were painted by streetart artist Zed1 with colourful murals.
