About Fattoria il Gambero - Winery Visual Identity
Fattoria il Gambero placed itself on the market with a dynamic and contemporary approach, in order to enhance its own history, which dates back to 1880. This is the reason for the trademark of the stylized “G”; it conveys the sense of a corkscrew uncorking a bottle and resembles the road leading to the company. The sans serif font adds substance to this somewhat abstract symbol and links its ancient past inexorably to the present. The colors give the entire image an innovative touch, while certain characteristics of the past are preserved, for instance, in the embossed paper of the Brochure.
About Laura Ferrario
She deal with Visual Design with the sole objective of making every single project to measure and always placing her customer in the center to convey her message to the target audience in the most direct and immediate way. The phrase that best describes her philosophy is: for all those companies that want to move at the pace of the world, but catch the glance of those who observe them. Reaching this goal is not easy, due to the amount of visual input that everyday life exposes us to; this is why we need to make ourselves as recognizable as possible, and capture our viewers’ attention with few, but well-defined messages.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Fattoria il Gambero positioned itself on the market with a well-balanced approach in between the dynamic and the contemporary, while still greatly relying on its history, which dates back to 1880. The intention was thus to imbue the entire image with innovation, color and contemporaneity, while maintaining all the characteristics of the past, as in the embossed paper used for the Brochure. This project was handled at 360°, from the brand to the labels, from the website to the brochure. All communication was based on the owner's family, a big family who followed his father in a big project. The names of the wines found their inspiration in the horses of the owner’s grandfather.
- Inspiration
- The origin of the logo was a stylized G which conveyed the sense of a corkscrew uncorking a bottle and at the same time looked like the road leading to the company. The sans serif font makes this not entirely defined symbol more substantial and solid. The burgundy color was chosen to represent a full-bodied red wine like the Pinot Nero, one of the company’s battle horses. For labels the symbol G was used as a graphic sign, the colors reflects the type of wine: for younger wines the label is clear with colorful graphics while for wines most important the label base is colored with darker and shiny graphics.
- Realization and Technology
- The cleanliness and modernity of the wine labels, printed on a coated paper, was contrasted with the embossed paper of the brochure or the uncoated paper business cards to convey two different feelings: modernity, but backed by history.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in April 2004 an finish on May 2013
