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.
Dr Marilena Colussi is an expert in Consumer Sociology and Food Trends.
She recently conducted research entitled “Attitudes and behaviours of the wine consumer in relation to large-scale retail channels” commissioned by Veronafiere, Vinitaly 2012.

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.

“Wine is a real value that transcends reality” - Luigi Veronelli
The link between wine and aesthetic research has become increasingly clear and important over the past few decades. In the case of Piemonte’ wines, this evolution has been driven by companies or enlightened wine-producers whose prime aim has been to re-launch the production of high-quality wines, generating a phase of renewal that has laid the foundations for the development of its products, also in aesthetic terms. From this point of view, producers like Giacomo Bologna, Maria Borio, Angelo Gaja, Bruno and Marcello Ceretto, to mention just a few names, should be seen as pioneers of this phenomenon which has seen intense commitment to achieving excellence in every sense in Piedmontese wines. A variety of means, both analytical and aesthetic, are used to interpret wine, describing it through images or shapes. This exhibition aims to tell the story of how a label is designed and how much new and significant progress has been achieved by the wine-producing companies in our region.
