Details

Born on a volcanic land embraced by the Atlantic, this label pays tribute to 600 years of winemaking on Santa Maria Island, Azores. Inspired by its dramatic geography, the charcoal design evokes sea, cliffs, and hills, while discreet human figures symbolise collective labour. Die-cut “windows” suggest terraces and depth, turning the label into a tactile relief. Clean typography balances legibility with impact, while a rope around the neck recalls maritime tradition. A small handwritten tag adds warmth and authenticity to the minimalist, poetic identity.
