More About Bolgrad Sparkling Wine

The Bolgrad line of italian sparkling wines is a tribute to the classic Italian traditions of winemaking. Our goal was to highlight the brand's freshness, its aspiration for the future. To ensure that the product doesn't just stay relevant on the market as long as possible but remains years ahead of its main competitors in terms of its appearance.

Design Details

Unique Properties
The Bolgrad brand is expanding its product range, and its portfolio now includes a line of classic Italian sparkling wines. The sparkling wines are produced and bottled in Italy under the supervision of Bolgrad. We were tasked with the comprehensive branding of a collection of classic Italian sparkling wines.
Inspiration
What made this project special was the fact that we had to carefully transmit the spirit, atmosphere, and perception of real Italian sparkling wines while giving the consumer a clear understanding that they are dealing with a familiar brand. While working on the branding we always kept in mind that Italian sparkling wines are not just about style, breed, and brevity. They also have a mood, an atmosphere, that special passion, and sensation. This is what we tried to express in the design.
Research
We did market research on the competitive shelf. As a result of the research it became clear to us that Italian sparkling wines are not only about style, breed and brevity. But also mood, atmosphere, a special feeling and passion. That is what we tried to reflect in the design.
Challenge
The core idea revolves around the bubbles that are so pleasing on hot summer days. Reinforcing this idea, we took this image as the central one and made it an eye-stopper — the main, attention-grabbing element of the label. As a result, the label has a unique cut-out — three bubbles form a cut-through. Through the holes you can see the product itself.
Realization and Technology
bottle design, brand concept development, trade mark design, package design. The use of advanced post-printing processes was thoughtfully planned out for the label. Their combination and use won't go unappreciated by the consumer. Paper: Fasson Orion Frozen Diamond Plus Post-print: silver stamping, embossing, tactile varnish
Operation and Interaction
The label has unique elements that are cut through the label itself. When we glue the label to the bottle, we are able to see through the bottle through the cutouts that are formed. This gives additional visual value to the product and attracts the consumer's attention.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in summer 2022 in Kiev, Ukraine.
