Imagine the Chianti

The Fattoria Nittardi vineyard has commissioned Yoko Ono to design a label for a limited edition of its Chianti Classico Cassanova. Ono's label will be placed on 3,000 bottles. Artists who have previously created labels include A.K. Penck from Germany, Igor Mitoraj from Poland and local Chianti artist Giuliano Ghelli. In addition to the label, the artists are also asked to design a silk wrapper for the bottles. Surprisingly, Ono will not be the most famous artist linked to Fattoria Nittardi. The Tuscan estate the winery is located on was once owned by Michelangelo, who planted his own vineyard and gave the Pope his wine as a gift.
