Trinca Bolotas Reserva – Elevating a classic by Volta Studio

Following the successful refresh of the classic Trinca Bolotas label, we faced a new challenge: how to introduce a Reserva that feels instantly recognisable as part of the same family — yet unmistakably signals a step up in value, craft, and sophistication. The task was to evolve without erasing what people already loved; to create something that could sit proudly beside the original, but tell a new story of time, care, and refinement.

Our approach was guided by a simple idea: as different as night and day, without changing a thing.

Maintaining the original layout was essential to preserve brand equity and recognition. Every detail — from the playful balance between typography and illustration to the rhythm of the composition — was treated with care. The signature bright orange, one of the brand’s most distinctive visual assets, second only to its iconic pig, retained its presence. Yet, it now takes on a new personality through a refined metallic foil finish, applied over deep black, martelé-textured paper that evokes craftsmanship and quiet luxury.

By inverting the colour scheme, we embraced the visual language of premium wines while keeping the familiar warmth that defines Trinca Bolotas. The orange foil becomes a bridge between past and present, a symbol of continuity wrapped in evolution — a reminder of the brand’s humble roots, its connection to the Alentejo landscape, and a confident statement of its elevated status. The result is a label that feels timeless, grounded, and unmistakably Trinca Bolotas — only more so.
