Senza 1 Senso — Accessible wine packaging with Braille label and NFC technology

A wine label you can touch and listen to

In the world of wine, it’s often said that we drink first with our eyes.
But wine is a multisensory experience—and it shouldn’t exclude those who experience it through other senses.
From this idea comes Senza 1 Senso, an accessible wine packaging project developed with AIS Lombardia and the Italian Union of the Blind and Visually Impaired (UICI Milano), designed to make the wine experience accessible to blind and visually impaired people.

An accessible wine label combining design and technology

The project starts from a simple yet powerful element: the bottle label.
We designed an accessible wine label system that combines:

  • Braille, for tactile reading of key information
  • NFC technology, which activates audio content when a smartphone is brought close to the label

The bottle becomes something you can explore with your hands and listen to—expanding the sensory experience of wine.
The project was made possible thanks to the contribution of leading technical partners such as UPM, Luxoro Kurz, La Commerciale and OREV, who supported the label’s development with expertise, materials, and know-how.

An inclusive and shared wine packaging project

“Senza 1 Senso” is not designed for a single winery.
It’s an accessible labeling system that can be adopted by different producers, creating a shared language within the wine world.
A sign of inclusion that brings together different realities under one simple idea: making the wine experience accessible to everyone.

Accessible design that creates value

Bottles featuring the Senza 1 Senso label include a solidarity contribution to the Italian Union of the Blind and Visually Impaired, supporting projects focused on autonomy and inclusion.

When design expands the experience

Design is not just about making a product recognizable.
It’s about expanding the experience.
With Senza 1 Senso, the wine label stops being purely visual and becomes a surface that activates touch, listening, and discovery—transforming packaging into a tool for accessibility.
