Terlatowines.com
Mazzoni launches new wines with a bold, new look!• Mazzoni: Created by the Terlato Family in the US and the Franceschi’s of Italy (Il Poggione) by combining both New and Old World winemaking techniques• While the current label design was modern and contemporary it needed an upgrade in two major areas:
The current black label on the dark bottle is difficult to read in both the retail setting and in bars/restaurants The gold foil MAZZONI logo does not translate to a clear bottle with white wine; not legible from any sort of distance The New label designs are premium via the use of foil paper and inks, are legible from a distance in all settings (retail, bar/restaurant), and will translate well as the portfolio grows!
