Graffetta Estate Wines Logo, Packaging Identity

Graffetta Estate wines Logo, packaging identity is an innovative visual branding solution that masterfully integrates historical significance with contemporary design elements, created by Italian designers Giacomo Stefanelli and Barbara Cesura. This sophisticated packaging design, which earned the Silver A' Design Award in the Packaging Design category, draws its inspiration from the unique geological heritage of its vineyard's location - an ancient coral reef transformed into fertile wine-growing terrain. The design's central motif features a purposefully designed magpie holding a coral in its beak, symbolizing the harmonious connection between the present and the past. The visual identity employs advanced printing techniques to create a multi-sensory experience, utilizing materic white paper as the base material with variant-specific colored hot foil applications. The coral element is rendered in Red 186 with braille printing to achieve a three-dimensional effect, while the magpie is executed in Pantone Black U to create striking visual contrast. Technical innovation is evident in the use of separate black films for the magpie and text elements, ensuring optimal readability while maintaining design integrity. The packaging design extends to a specially selected 75cl Bordolese wine bottle featuring an enhanced shoulder profile for increased visual presence. This comprehensive identity system successfully communicates the estate's heritage and premium positioning through thoughtful material selection, sophisticated printing techniques, and symbolic representation, demonstrating excellence in both conceptual depth and technical execution.
