DI: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
GM : The inspiration comes from the territory and its history, specifically from an element that characterizes the marine landscape of the locality where these wines are born. In fact, the Mangiabarche Lighthouse is an icon of the Island of Sant'Antioco that has welcomed those arriving from the sea for almost a century.
DI: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
GM : I wanted to achieve a clean and minimal design but at the same time of great visual impact. A design that could tell the story of this territory and its wines but at the same time make these products contemporary and captivating.
DI: What are your future plans for this award winning design?
GM : Other labels inspired by this design will be born for other wines in the cellar
DI: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?
GM : This concept took about 2 months of work, from the creative phase to the realization phase
