Summertime – Alice Piaggio

For her, art is above all fun.
Her freehand illustrations are full of details, rich textures, and characters: lively, colorful chaos sketched with intelligence and irony.

Born in Genoa, but raised in Bogliasco, a small village frequented by surfers and fishermen. in 2014 she graduated from the Academy of Fine arts and in the same year, she moved to Urbino where, in 2017, she graduated from the course of illustration to the ISIA.
Co-founder of Pelo magazine collaborates with Italian and foreign magazines.

Alice Piaggio dedicated her art to De Buris Wine and Summertime.

“The weather in 2009 remained fine throughout the summer, but with abundant rains in the first week of July, while August was torrid. Temperatures returned to normal in September and there was excellent thermal excursion between day and night, fundamental for enlarging the grapes’ cornucopia of aromas. Thanks to the excellent weather, the harvest took place in perfect conditions. What had begun as an experiment and a challenge, the 2009 vintage made us become a team and carry out ten years of constant and obsessive care and attention, from the harvest to put the wine on the market. In these ten years we have taken all the time we needed to understand the soil, the grapes, and the wine, and then make all the right decisions to add to the grandeur of our Amarone the easy-drinking, elegant style it had when it was first made.
And so begins the renaissance of this wine.”
