Lagoalva

This project for Lagoalva brings the essence of the estate’s landscape to the forefront through a series of bespoke illustrations applied across multiple wine ranges. Each label becomes a window into the unique scenery of the Quinta — from the vineyards and olive groves to architectural elements and riverside views — reinforcing the brand’s deep connection to its territory.

The Challenge

The challenge was to translate the visual richness and emotional depth of the Lagoalva estate into a cohesive series of illustrations that would work across multiple wine ranges. Each label had to reflect a unique view or element of the property, while still feeling part of a greater whole.
To ground the creative process in authenticity, we conducted on-site visits and worked closely with the team to identify key locations and elements that define the identity of the estate. From centuries-old stables to iconic olive trees and vineyard rows, we mapped out an iconographic universe that could be transformed into visual storytelling.

The Solution

Through cross-hatching and hand-drawn detailing, we

created a visual language that echoes traditional

engraving, evoking craftsmanship, time, and heritage.

Each illustration was tailored to a specific wine, ensuring

that every bottle became a portal into a unique corner of Lagoalva. The illustrations not only reflect physical places

but also convey the atmosphere and rhythm of life at

the estate.


By combining these illustrations with clean typography

and a restrained design system, the final result is a packaging collection that bridges heritage and contemporary elegance

— strengthening Lagoalva’s identity and offering consumers

a deeper, more meaningful connection to the land behind the Lagoalva wine.
