Following on from the “Splash”, the label created by John Armleder for Ornellaia’s iconic bottle, and which represents a recurring them in his work, these extraordinary sculptures represent, in the artist’s vision, the moment of enchantment as the wine emerges forth from the bottle, captured in an instant and frozen forever in time.

Like a cloak that envelops the bottles, the glass sculpture transforms the bottle and everything inside it into a work of art, in an intense dialogue between dimensions of aesthetics and taste that are inseparable. The clear glass sculptures, each one unique due to the artisanal techniques used to create them have been created with a different finish for each large format of Ornellaia: iridescent for the 100 double magnums, chrome for the 10 imperials and gold leaf for the Salmanazar.
