Sassocorno is a boutique winery in the heart of Friuli, founded in 2017 with a deep commitment to natural, authentic winemaking. Their approach relies on spontaneous fermentation and extended aging, allowing the terroir to fully express itself. Sustainability is at the core of their vision, guiding every step from vineyard to bottle.
Our collaboration with Sassocorno aimed to translate this ethos into a strong and cohesive visual identity. From the website to the wine labels and social media presence, every element was designed to create an engaging brand experience that resonates across all touchpoints.
Expressing terroir through design
_______
Wine labels are a gateway—where the eye tastes before the palate. Sassocorno’s labels were designed with clarity and restraint, using refined typography and a muted palette to reflect the winery’s values. At their heart is a bold emblem: a stylised corn. More than a graphic choice, it nods to the winery’s roots—Corno di Rosazzo, the land it inhabits, and Cuar, the Friulian river that runs through it. A quiet symbol of place and identity. Subtle metallic finishes distinguish each wine, adding texture and depth.
The result: a collection that’s minimal, elegant, and unmistakably Sassocorno.
Translating wine into data
_______
From grape varieties and vineyard location to fermentation methods and tasting notes, wine technical sheets serve as essential guides for sommeliers, distributors, and wine enthusiasts alike. A clean, structured layout ensures readability while preserving the brand’s identity. Every element—from typography to color balance—is designed for clarity, making complex technical details easy to understand without sacrificing visual elegance.

A natural approach
_______
The approach focuses on daily life in the vineyard, insights into sustainable winemaking, and interactive content to engage wine enthusiasts. The people behind Sassocorno document each step of the journey to bottling, sharing the care, patience, and dedication that shape every wine. The Sassocorno website is a digital reflection of the winery’s philosophy—pure, authentic, and deeply connected to nature. A refined minimalist aesthetic, warm earthy tones, and fluid navigation create an immersive experience that feels as natural as the winemaking itself. Striking imagery brings the vineyards to life, while storytelling deepens the emotional bond, transforming visitors into part of the Sassocorno journey.
Working with Sassocorno felt like a natural fit. Just as they dedicate care and attention to every step of their winemaking, we apply the same precision and passion to design. And along the way, we had the pleasure of tasting some truly excellent wine—an experience that made this partnership even more rewarding.
