A modern design tells of a primitive and rural land: Sardinia. For the Tenute Vignola project, we looked at Nuragic Art, a window on the past and this island's first major contribution to world art.


What inspired us in particular were the Nuragic bronzes, bronze statuettes made between the Bronze Age and the Iron Age, which served as an ex-vota. We were struck by the extreme simplicity of these objects, translated, on the labels of Tenute Vignola, into pure shapes and primary colors. Portal on a street, hypothetically infinite, of forms that are always different and yet always recognizable as part of a single identity. In fact, in what appears to be a work of extreme synthesis, the presence of the elements that characterized the works that inspired us remains constant and recognizable.


In what appears to be a work of extreme synthesis, the presence of the elements that characterized the works that inspired us remains constant and recognizable. So here, old and new at the same time, shields, headgear, cloaks and weapons appear. The shield always repeats the Sardinian proverb “in su binu sa veridade” (in wine the truth) to further underline the strong territorial identity of this wine and of this island.
