Paolo Rossetti - Rossetti Brand Design · CLIENT: Podere Le Ripi
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.

- 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.
