Sporos Wine Label Design by Ioannis Stavgianoudakis

Sporos Wine Label Design by Ioannis Stavgianoudakis

Here’s an expanded version of your text with some additional detail to reach the target:

In Crete, Greece, there is a tradition of burying barrels of Marouvas wine – the beloved, age-old wine of Crete – in the earth on the day a child is born. This act symbolizes growth, heritage, and the deep connection between the Cretan people and their land. The buried barrel, hidden beneath the soil, lies in wait for years, gradually transforming into a unique, deeply flavorful wine enriched by time and nature.

It is unearthed and opened only on a momentous occasion, such as a coming-of-age celebration or even the child’s wedding, unleashing memories, history, and a flavor matured through the years.

The name Sporos comes from the Greek word for “seed,” reflecting the tradition of planting these barrels as symbolic seeds. It also serves as a charming nickname for small children, capturing the wine’s connection to birth and life.

The Sporos bottle embodies this very tradition. Its sleek black form mirrors the mystery and elegance of the wine within, while the logo, crafted in ancient Greek-inspired lettering, symbolizes the roots of Cretan culture. The logo is made from the textured, earthy appearance of soil – reminiscent of the soil in which the barrels of Marouvas rest – blending history and nature into a minimalistic yet powerful design.

In keeping with tradition, each Sporos bottle is nestled in packaging filled with the same soil used to bury the barrels, enhanced with a touch of Marouvas wine. This detail infuses the box with the wine’s unique aromas, allowing a sensory preview even before the bottle is opened. This fusion of land, legacy, and craft invites you to experience a taste of Crete’s timeless customs in every glass of Sporos wine.
