Talking about biodynamic wine: Le Sincette
As Jacques Mell (Bio-Dynamie Conseil founder and Demeter France secretary) said: the French word “agriculture” is extraordinarily revealing, being made up of the prefix “agri” (farm) and “culture” (culture/cultivation).
And when talking about culture in the production of wine, one of the most complex subjects to explain is the cultivation of vines using biodynamic methods: knowledge of nature and its cycles, as well as the principles that govern the life of the soil and the vines in relationship to the influence of the stars, a complex culture that allows the wine to fully express the quality of the land.
But what is the proper vocabulary to talk about this level of complexity?
It’s all about combining love and respect for nature and the precision of the steps required to create a biodynamic wine with the need to inform consumers who possesses ever greater awareness and are more and more careful about the choices they make.

Brand restyling, the Berlucchi experience
I eagerly accepted when I was asked to write an article for the new SGA blog about the important and delicate theme of the restyling of particularly renowned food farming and wine producing brands. In this new virtual informative space, I’ll be discussing what these brands represent in terms of our history, tradition and culture and looking at the symbolic and functional value their products have for their consumers and our society in general. So here are a few keys to fully understanding the recent restyling of one of the foremost brand names in the spumante market.

She recently conducted research entitled “Attitudes and behaviours of the wine consumer in relation to large-scale retail channels” commissioned by Veronafiere, Vinitaly 2012.

2011 - Wine and Design
Immersed in design
The first contact a consumer usually has with a wine is through the label, which means that design matters. We spoke to three design firms about their very different philosophies. Here, Massimiliano Hangler from SGA in Italy outlines their approach.
2008 - Oenographies: designing narrative itineraries
Midway between the process of design and the production process in the wine sector lie forms of this itinerary that show a certain degree of similarity. These itineraries are also ‘stories’: itineraries that encapsulate acts of narration.
