Gualdo del Re: Project f

Tuscany: Seal’s first client is an Italian vineyard called Gualdo del Re in Suvereto, Tuscany. They make among the very best wines in all of Italy, consistently winning awards in a country known for critical taste and high quality standards. Seal will provide its technology to secure their most exclusive wine ever made with Seal chips.

Progetto F, or Project F, was truly made out of love for creation. The wine was made with an almost obsessive drive for perfection, and thus the liquid deserves only the best container. Two Italian excellences come together in a project that combines noble Tuscan enology with the tradition of Venetian glassblowing. Project f” encapsulates an idea that springs from the desire to create something unique: a special wine, the award winning Merlot by “Gualdo del Re”, in a bottle conceived and created especially for the celebrated Carlo Moretti glass workshop in Murano. Nico Rossi and “Gualdo del Re” are synonymous with Merlot. Moretti’s work finds a display in many museums and thus, for this project, we were tasked with integrating the Seal in the priceless bottle, a reimagination of the Tuscan flask. The challenge here was to embed the chip in an uncompromising and aesthetically pleasing way. This resulted in a discrete wax Seal look that emphasized the timeless look of the Moretti bottle.

Seeing Seal in an actual product, instead of a demo, brought Seal to a new level of maturity.
