Most studios design the label. We designed the wine.

From vine selection in Mendoza to the bottle on the table, Vaccarezza Wines was a brand built entirely in-house — strategy, vintage, packaging, direct-to-consumer site.

The decision

Skip the vineyard cliché. Build the brand around the only thing that mattered: the W and the drop.

01
Curate the line, not just the label. Varietal selection came before any design decision.
02
One symbol, two readings. A W that is also a drop — monogram and product in a single mark.
03
Colour blocking by varietal. Shelf navigation without reading a word.
04
Direct-to-consumer from day one. No distributor between the wine and the table.

The W & the drop.

Vaccarezza Wines is what UPA looks like when it sits on the other side of the brief. From vineyard selection to packaging to the e-commerce site, every brand decision was a business decision — and vice versa. The proof that the studio can think product, not just communication.

"

When the studio is also the client, every shortcut shows up in the bottle. Vaccarezza taught us more than any external brief — and made me a better partner for the ones that came after.
