About Giossa Wine Packaging
Giossa is a premium glass bottle for Prosecco sparkling wine. With this design, Gentlebrand pays homage to its territory and the Valdobbiadene hills, part of Unesco. The inspiration comes directly from the vineyard, clearly represented on the bottle with engravings of leaves, branches and grapes that make the bottle unique. Every detail is carefully thought to ensure feasibility from an industrial and technical point of view, without compromising the aesthetics. Giossa name originates from the Venetian dialect and means drop, recalling dew-making grapes shining in the morning sun.

- Production Technology
- The model has been made following the standard technical design process, starting from an initial handmade sketch till the modelling with a 3D CAD. The chosen material is glass and the production technology is the standard one for bottle glass manufacturing: a melted glass drop is blown in a mold getting the final container with the related decorations. The label is made of different papers (one with a wood effect) and is printed with offset technology to guarantee the best finishing quality.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge of this design was the engineering of the bottle 3D model. Graphic elements recalling the vineyards with very little decorations like leaves, branches, birds, grapes, were applied to the container ensuring a tridimensionality effect.
- Research
- Gentlebrand started with the study of the Prosecco wine tradition and bond with the territory, with the objective to create a packaging able to communicate its heritage and story. The research involved the analysis of wine magazines and interviews of wine experts and wineries. All the collected data were used by the designers to create the storytelling behind the concept. Moreover, the design meets the technical requirements of the local wine producers.
