The project
Every wine has its own character, destiny, perfume and colour; the taste comes after.
Some wines like Freisa, Nebbiolo, Sangiovese take their names from the wine grapes; other wines like Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Barolo has taken their names from the places whey come from.
The landscapes, people, culture and traditions – everything is connected in the amazing harmony.
This magic connection between places and wines gave origins to the idea to paint the wine places of Italy with only one colour: the colour of wine.

Piedmont is the region of Italy that gives origins to the great wine grapes. Here Nebbiolo, Barbera, Freisa are grown. Let’s discover their colours and their mother lands with Langa hills running far far away.

Brunello di Montalcino is a red DOCG Italian wine produced in the vineyards surrounding the town of Montalcino, in the province of Siena, located about 80 km south of Florence in the Tuscany wine region. Brunello, a diminutive of Bruno (“brown”), is the name that was given locally to what was believed to be an individual grape variety grown in Montalcino. In Montalcino the name Brunello evolved into the designation of the wine produced with 100% Sangiovese grape.
