BRAND POSITIONING
Located in the heart of Sicily, at Da Luca we celebrate everything that’s great about Sicilian wine.
With our rich wine-making heritage and flair for creativity, we pride ourselves in producing bold, distinctive wines that are unmistakeably Sicilian.
Working with small passionate growers scattered across the island to nurture the finest grapes, it’s the unique growing conditions of the hot Sicilian sun, the cool sea breeze and the rich volcanic soil which give our wines their intensity and complex flavour.
Da Luca – Proudly Sicilian
DA LUCA CELLAR DOOR
Situated close to Vittoria, a town in the province of Ragusa in Sicily Da Luca shares its’ home with the Santa Tresa Estate which dates back to 1697 In the backdrop of Santa Tresa stands Mount Etna, the tallest active volcano in Europe & undoubtedly the single most dominant feature of Sicily We are working with the Santa Tresa growers and winemakers to source the range of Da Luca wines
BRANDING & PACKAGING
THE INSPIRATION
AN ICONIC PART OF SICILIAN CULTURE, SCOPA IS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE NEW DA LUCA PACKAGING. EACH LABEL FEATURES ONE OF THE BEAUTIFUL CARD ILLUSTRATIONS FROM THE GAME TO CAPTURE THE COLOUR, PASSION AND SPIRIT OF SICILY.
Sicilians never do anything by halves; whether that’s cooking up a feast for family and friends, or getting the whole town together to celebrate
carnevale, they have an incredible passion for life and for living.
THE INSPIRATION… CONT.
Nowhere is this more evident than in their love of the national Italian card game ‘scopa’. Played by young and old alike, this lively, colourful game is a big part of the local culture; families play around the table after dinner whilst fishermen sit out on the seafront slamming cards down onto upturned barrels.
With their own Sicilian version of the game, scopa sums up what it means to be Sicilian; passionate, vivacious and not afraid to do things differently. It’s these same characteristics that make Da Luca wines stand apart.
