Printed Short Stories That Double as Wine<br />

Bottle Labelsby<br />

Combining two of my favorite winter (or rather any season) activities<br />

is the project Librottiglia, a newly designed set of wines which feature<br />

short stories built into their labels. The texts are printed on textured<br />

paper stock, minimally designed, and secured to the bottle with a<br />

single piece of twine, providing an alternative to both digital methods<br />

of reading and traditional books. Not only are the selected works<br />

aesthetically matched to the bottle, but the content is also curated to<br />

align with the taste profiles, the characteristics of the work conceptually<br />

paired to each blend.<br />

Three writers were selected to contribute to the project, each bringing<br />

their unique style to their matched wine. Journalist and satirist Danilo<br />

Zanelli contributes the mystery “Murder” to a Roero Arneis, “The<br />

Frog in the Belly,” a fable by Patrizia Laquidara is paired with an<br />

Anthos, and Regina Marques Nadaes’s love story “I Love You, Forget<br />

Me” compliments the winery’s Nebbiolo Roero.
