UCA VIOLINISTA

We crafted a compelling story and striking, unforgettable design, blending local heritage, artisanal craftsmanship, and environmental awareness. 

These vineyards in Algarve, southern Portugal, produce a young, vibrant wine, infused with the freshness of the sea. To bring it to life, we crafted a compelling storytelling and visual narrative that capture its unique identity.

Nearby, the coastline is a true wildlife sanctuary, home to salt marshes, wetlands, dunes, and tidal channels that provide the perfect habitat for a rich variety of birds, fish, mollusks, and crustaceans.

One of the most iconic inhabitants of this ecosystem is the fiddler crab (Uca tangeri), often spotted at low tide. This fascinating creature is known for its distinctive movement—waving its oversized claw as if playing the violin, a ritual used to attract and court females. Beyond its role in mating, the claw is also a powerful tool in territorial battles between males.

It was no coincidence that we chose this extraordinary crab as the symbol of this wine and named it UCA VIOLINISTA (“Uca Violinist”). With a bold visual identity inspired by this remarkable species, our goal is not only to celebrate the wine’s deep connection to its territory but also to raise awareness among the thousands of tourists who visit the Algarve about the need to protect this unique ecosystem.
