Label / history

Kris originated as a collaboration between Leonardo LoCascio and Franz Haas. Its labels were designed by the Italian Cubist artist Riccardo Schweizer. Recurring motifs include a golden sphere symbolizing the Italian sun's role in ripening the grapes, a hand representing human involvement in winemaking, and lips forming a kiss. Images of molecules and strands of grape DNA evoke the scientific aspect of winemaking.
