Colors of the wine is the project made of 10 pages of watercolors with red wines of Italy and the stories of the regions the come from. The project will be a part of a special selection at “Matite in viaggio 2020” collective in Venice called “Wine civilization in Italy, in Europe, in the world”.
The project Every wine has its own character, destiny, perfume and colour; the taste comes after. Some wines like Freisa, Nebbiolo, Sangiovese take their names from the wine grapes; other wines like Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Barolo has taken their names from the places whey come from. The landscapes, people, culture and traditions – everything is connected in the amazing harmony. This magic connection between places and wines gave origins to the idea to paint the wine places of Italy with only one colour: the colour of wine.
