One of the quintessential summer drinking wines is a Pinot Grigio. The grape is a mutation of the Pinot Noir and is turned into a mineral driven white wine with appealing pear, peach and apple flavors, offset by a bright acidity and pleasing finish.
Each summer, Ecco Domani pairs up with a celebrity artist to create a new winning design for a limited-edition label on their Pinot Grigio wine. Past designers such as Jeremy Scott, drew inspiration from their respective aesthetics to bring a boldness and style to Ecco Domani fans and consumers.
Now in its eighth year, designer Siying Ou of genderless clothing brand PRIVATE POLICY New York, partnered to design a label inspired by the Italian translation of Ecco Domani, “Here’s Tomorrow”. The idea of looking to the future, having hope, and aspiration of the electric energy of New York.
PRIVATE POLICY New York’s partnership with Ecco Domani is breaking stereotypes and leading change in the fashion world and beyond. Price: $10.
