General comment: It is clear the attempt to create a particular label and and artistic touch. Sometimes this goes too far, like in this case, according to my personal taste. The multicolor dots, leaving space just for the scripts give me a sort of headache and confusion. The scripts are almost overwhelmed by these dots. Too many. I count 7 or 8 different colours, without a real criteria if not to impress the consumer. Defenitly it does not match my (classical) taste. Considering than  that the wine has not a  particular fame, some cleared explanation would have been better. Maybe it could be a sort of divisionism or even better pointillisme, but Segantini or Seurat are very  distant form this label.

I don't see the name of the producer. At least here and it's already serious. Sorry.

Vote 37/100

Originality: here the judgement is opposite: the pourpourri of dots makes very particular the label. One can say not pretty, but by sure you will remember it. If this, and just this, was the aim it has been reached.

Vote 88/100

Script: Difficult to judge; they are lost between the dots. Except for the script "ALTROVINO" the rest is too little, too dispersed, somehow lost in the ensemble.
