Spring in a bottle

"... it strikes for its ample bouquet, tropical sensations are flanked by notes of violet, raspberry, rose, pear and pomegranate. The taste is confirmed by the olfactory complexity of great freshness and intensity; it is also crunchy and creamy at the same time. Very pleasant..."

Wine and Vintage
 

"...the oenological choice to use in equal measure organic grapes of the company's production of Ciliegiolo and Pinot Noir allows us to combine the sweetness of the former with the particular aromaticity of the latter. The early harvest is partly due to the type of grape varieties used and partly to the desire to preserve the acid-base necessary to enhance the aromas and freshness of the wine..."

Label

Spicchio is the name of the wine and the cockerel on the label.  Both stand out: the cockerel for its exuberant singing and the wine for its intense sensorial and gustatory identity. In the background is the old Tuscan farmhouse that recalls the tradition and authenticity of organic production.

Label

Spicchio is the name of the wine as well as the name of the rooster represented in the label synonym of liveliness.
The historical label has been redesigned in order to condense more information in a smaller label. The name of the wine in blue to remember the sky and the sea; then the blend, the vegan  and organic logos.
At the foot of the label the brand with its motto. All of this has been thought in order to leave ample space to the pink color of the wine on the friendly, transparent bottle.
