The package is designed by SGA Wine Design. Its features include natural brown and cream colours, a printed, textile-like pattern that is pleasing to the touch and shows no fingerprints, and the hot-foil-stamped Barone Pizzini crest, a heritage of the noble Pizzini family of Habsburg origin who arrived in Franciacorta in 1870.

The package is printed and manufactured by Nuova Litocolor, which specialises in high-quality cartons for wine and spirits.

“In this case we are printing on the backside of the board, which is quite extraordinary and demanding. Performa Cream always performs reliably and has a nice shade of white that many of our customers like,” says managing director Andrea Zanotti from the printing house. The 230 gsm board is laminated on corrugated board to achieve the rigidity needed for carrying heavy bottles.

There are over one hundred wineries in Franciacorta, Italy, and the production of sparkling wine exceeds 15 million bottles per year.
