Package design is about more than the visual communication of graphic design. Sometimes the container itself speaks volumes. Wine is a market dominated by standard vessels. A unique bottle stands out.
The image on the label is clearly provocative. The back of a woman with radiant red hair and a low-cut dress that exposes enough flesh to brand her with the entire name of the product, varietal, geographical origin, and denomination. Presumably as a tattoo. Additional tattoos on her neck and arms include a rose, tiger, lightning bolt, stars, cherries, and flames. Pretty standard tattoo imagery. I almost missed the bird and skull created with a gloss effect on the matte black capsule. I should also add that the hair and tattoos are highly glossy.
Clorofillae Malvasia orange wine takes a very unique approach to wine packaging. The glass bottle is standard. It's the label application that's different. Can we call this a label? Perhaps it could best be described as a neck hanger (very common in beverage promotion) extended to become a wraparound apron. It works. It's just strange to encounter.
