PARA NISA: Gratitude in the shape of an hourglass

PARA NISA is Casa Landeiro’s first wine, but above all, it is a gesture of gratitude. One shaped like an hourglass.

The wine pays tribute to the town of Nisa and its cultural heritage, drawing inspiration from its long and iconic pottery tradition. This connection to place became the foundation of the project, grounding the wine in both land and memory.

From the very first conversations with Luiz and Graziela Landeiro and Vasco Magalhães (The Wine Office), one value was constant: respect. Respect for the land, for origin, and for the culture that grows from both. At its core, the project reflects the relationship between people and land — a relationship that is, above all, a relationship with time. Time to care, to wait, and to observe. Time that shapes the soil, the vines, and those who work them.

From this understanding emerged the concept Tempo da Terra: time of the land and for the land. Time as nature knows it: cyclical, continuous, and always in transformation.

The packaging design translates this concept through an hourglass form, merging the brand’s symbol with Nisa’s pottery tradition. A clay-textured hourglass was created to express the relationship between human touch, earth, and time, where form is slowly shaped through patience and care. Rather than measuring a moment, the hourglass honours a rhythm, reminding us that nothing is rushed and everything arrives in its own time.

Earthy tones and a restrained, minimal visual language further anchor the design in its origin. The identity is intentionally designed to evolve rather than conclude, unfolding gradually across labels, stories, and future releases.

More than a beginning, Para Nisa is an expression of gratitude and belonging. It celebrates the land that welcomed the Casa Landeiro project and the people who continue to shape its story, season after season. The result is a packaging system that speaks of work, memory, and connection:  quiet yet powerful tribute to place, time, and continuity.
