The historic cantina Ruggeri is marking its 75th anniversary with Beyond75, a unique 3D-printed craft by Mediterranea Design. Drawing inspiration from the steep hills of Valdobbiadene, the birthplace of Prosecco DOCG, this piece is crafted from an innovative, sustainable bioplastic derived from corn. Its gold-toned, organic shape features alcoves that accommodate five of Ruggeri’s most innovative and groundbreaking bottles. Additionally, one alcove remains intentionally open to signify a future wine project yet to be developed, reflecting the cantina’s visionary and pioneering spirit. Beyond75 will debut at Bar Altra Vista [Map] during 5VIE white night on April 9 from 7 pm.
