About Bonsai - Podere Le Ripi Wine
Bonsai is a wine bottle packaging design created for a limited number of bottles of an IGT Toscana Rosso wine produced by Podere Le Ripi in Montalcino, Italy. The wine comes from vines grown in confined spaces, which leads the plants to root deeply and find nourishment far below the surface. To reflect this rare origin, no printed paper label is used. An image of a vine is screen printed directly on the glass in platinum, gold and matt black. The decoration measures 13 by 4 centimetres and is applied to a bordolese bottle.

Interviews
Design Interview
What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
The idea comes from the "darkness" of the glass bottle. An abstract space on which I thought to represent a single Bonsai vine but made with metals: silver and gold.
What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
Give an idea of value, a sign that immediately recalls the Bonsai vine: precious and solemn. In particular, to represent the contrast of the plant (the vine - a typical western plant), and the name Bonsai which sounds oriental.
What are your future plans for this award winning design?
I hope it can be an example of good design and be inspirational.

- Unique Properties
- The project emerged from the need to produce a limited number of bottles for Bonsai, a IGT Toscana Rosso wine, produced by Podere Le Ripi in Montalcino in Italy. Bonsai is the result of a unique cultivation of the vine in which the vines grow in confined spaces which allows the plant to take root and find nourishment deep in the earth.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The decoration measures 13x4 cm and is directly printed on a bordolese bottle

- Production Technology
- Screen printing on glass with platinum, gold and matt black
- Inspiration
- The creative idea came from the symbolic representation of the uniqueness of the Bonsai vine and its precious nature. This is why we decided against a simple printed label and decided to produce a platinum, gold and matt black image of a vine screen-printed on glass for a collectable wine.
- Project Duration
- The project started in 2011 and had a first appearance made on a paper label. Screen printing on glass has been done in 2019.
