Vda Donnas DOC is the new Grosjean project

Vda Donnas DOC is the new Grosjean project. It is a wine born from the skilful care and dedication of this variety, located in the hamlet of Le Roncdevaccaz, which, it must be emphasised, is rooted in very ancient traditions, despite the difficulty of growing it due to the steepness of the surrounding mountains. In these places, centuries-old terraces, supported by walls up to 4 metres high, are able to cope with the steep slopes and support the vines in pergolas, known as topie. This is where heroic viticulture finds its highest expression. This family of vignerons, which has always been involved in the cultivation of no less than 11 grape varieties from the Aosta Valley, is proposing a new label as a symbol of a true and authentic expression of this Nebbiolo biotype. It is with great pride that we present this new project,” says Hervé, “the company has invested in the area by purchasing new plots of land and, although production is still limited, we hope to increase it in the near future. He continues: ‘Despite the very difficult conditions in which we have to work, the vine and the care we give it remain at the centre of everything: Vda Donnas represents our region and our territory in a strong and identifiable way’.

Officially launched internationally Gisada Titanium

Officially launched internationally on 11 April, Gisada Titanium is already a bestseller from the Swiss perfume house, which has been a Zedcomm client for several years. To officially present the new men’s fragrance to the press and influencers, we organised the event on 15 May in a unique and innovative setting.Riding on the glory of Titanium’s testimonial: Anthony Joshua, the famous English boxer, we decided to hold the presentation in a gym in the Navigli area. Sara Ventura Art&Body is a well-kept location, already the protagonist of shootings in the past, but never of events open to the public, this novelty found a remarkable astonishment among all the participants invited by Zedcomm, making the evening unforgettable.Thanks to the fact that the gym was already equipped with tools and machinery, we reduced the set up to a minimum, creating only mirrored displays to recall the packaging of the bottle, an ever-popular back with the Gisada logo for glamorous photo shoots and, last but not least, we branded the boxing bags, thus creating the perfect atmosphere to recall the world of boxing.A few facts about Gisada Titanium: Aromatic, woody and ambery, this is the essence of the new fragrance.The olfactory pyramid opens with the ultimate expression of strength thanks to pink pepper, cardamom, sage and artemisia. The heart reveals more spicy notes with an explosion of lavender, cinnamon, sandalwood and leather. The final note is sweet and sensual with iris, vanilla, tonka bean and patchouli.The packaging reveals iridescent metallic shades that reflect the elegance of the fragrance, like the precious yet indestructible material from which it takes its name: titanium, which combines strength and sensuality, just like the new fragrance.

Atelier.c Firenze presents its collection

For the first time in Milan, Atelier.c Firenze presents its collection of handmade bags, with a new addition! In addition to the brand’s most famous luxurious and compact bags, there is Marta, a generously sized shopper designed to hold everything we carry with us during the day, but also perfect as a weekend travel bag. The name was inspired by Alice, the brand’s interior designer’s daughter, who wanted to dedicate this bag to her; it was born out of the girl’s desire to have an accessory that could accompany her in her activities and frequent outings. All of Atelier.C’s creations can be personalised in terms of colour and materials, but for Marta there is also the possibility of purchasing different coloured and interchangeable shoulder straps, according to taste or occasion. On 8 May, the Florentine boutique presented its 100% Italian creations to the press and influencers at the Brun Fine Art gallery in Via Gesù, handcrafted by Tuscan artisans who have been master craftsmen for generations. The guests were impressed not only by the brand new shopper, but also by the details in untreated bronze, a characteristic element of Atelier.C, which skilfully incorporates it in each production. For the occasion, designers Marco Contiello and Alice Caporali also created silk bags to be given to guests, with a branded box inside containing the history of the atelier, accompanied by hand-drawn drawings by Alice herself Atelier.C is making its way in the world of luxury and niche Florentine craftsmanship. In fact, production is very limited and almost always on demand, as it is one of the few realities in the Tuscan capital that enlists the help of Italian goldsmiths and seamstresses who make everything entirely by hand.
