Standing out before earning trust.
1849 couldn’t rely on heritage or recognition.
It needed an identity impossible to ignore.
The real problem wasn’t design.
It was credibility.
An unknown winery entering a crowded category had no heritage, reputation or recognition to rely on.
Difference first.
Trust follows.
The identity was designed to create recognition before the brand had reputation.
Borrowing culture never works.
So we collaborated with someone who already had it.
We collaborated with SABER because culture can’t be manufactured.
Authenticity came from his point of view, not simply his artwork.
Culture became a visual language.
Unknown winery.
Unforgettable bottle.
