WINE LABELS
THE VINTNER’S JOURNEY FROM GRAPE TO GLASS
VOCES CELLARS
Founder and winemaker Fernando Candelario wanted a label to represent workers in the Voces (meaning “voices”) vineyard that shares the point of view from the field workers. He asked an artist friend to use his artwork of workers tending to the vines. Interestingly, the Bush Administration had a love for the painting depicted on Voces Cellars Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon labels and hung it on the wall in the White House.
BELLE GLOS WINES
Inspired by the elegance of the signature red wax seal and classic script on Belle Glos Wine bottles, winemaker Joe Wagner has designed a limited-edition Belle Glos stationery kit in collaboration with Dempsey & Carroll and in partnership with novelist, Nicholas Sparks. Belle Glos and Dempsey & Carroll are bringing back the long-lost art of love letter writing, encouraging everyone to write a letter dedicated to the people they cherish most. The bespoke kits feature custom Belle Glos stationery, a custom pen, wax in the classic and easily recognizable Belle Glos red, and a custom wax stamper, all housed in the classic Dempsey & Carroll navy box and are available along with any three Belle Glos Wines.
EPICENTRO NERO D’AVOLA RISERVA
As a celebration of survival and resilience, the Epicentro label was conceived and created entirely by Cantine Ermes’ marketing department in 2018, when the wine was launched to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the earthquake of the Belìce Valley. The font used for the word Epicentro is as if it moves, almost shaken, and the final letter “O” is created with multiple concentric circles that recalls seismic movements. The label is not a reminder of the pain in those moments, on the contrary, it highlights the energy and courage needed afterwards.
