DESIGN NAME: Nero di Sei / Bianco di Sei
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Wine Label
INSPIRATION: The Palmento Costanzo winery is based in Mount Etna in Sicily. For this project with the vineyard we have taken their unique concept of quality and terroir and translated it into unique piece of branding.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: After an intense period of research, we produced a wine-bottle label printed with an extract of volcanic dust from Mount Etna.The result is extraordinary; a tactile, luminescent and visually stimulating label that connects the consumer with the very essence of the wine.By running your fingers across the elevated label, you release volcanic dust, the very smell of Etna. We have used the natural colours of the magma to evoke a sense of place in one label capturing the fine organic wines.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Actually the brand is not well known, the old labels did not represent this project.In our project, we decided to innovate, putting volcanic dust directly on the label. This is the challenge of this project.The target audience is a very selected wine lovers all over the world. Starting from the old label, our project add value to the brand transforming the perception of the consumer. The new conception of packaging increasing charm and becomes an sensorial experience for the consumer. As result, after six months, sales and the bottle price are growing up in a significant way.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in January 2016 in Catania and ended in the month of December 2016 Spoltore, it is an unpublished work.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: For this project with the vineyard we have taken their unique concept of quality and terroir and translated it into unique piece of branding. After an intense period of research, we produced a wine-bottle label printed with an extract of volcanic dust from Mount Etna. The result is extraordinary, tactile, luminescent and visually stimulating label that connects the consumer with the real essence of the wine.By running your fingers across the elevated label, you release volcanic dust, the very smell of Etna.We have used the natural colours of the magma to evoke a sense of place - in one label capturing the fine organic wines made from the ancient grapes of Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, Carricante and Cataratto.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The volcanic shape on the label is realized in shining volcanic dust: the real essence of territory directly on the label. We selected, directly on field, volcanic stones to be pulverize to obtain very thin powder to use like printing material. Trough our printing technology engineer we create a new pigment, never used before, to use in typography silk-screen printing.
