Chianti Bertolli Castellina in Chianti c.1925 by Plinio Codognato | Vintage Italian Wine Advertising Poster

Chianti Bertolli – A Striking Plinio Codognato Italian Wine Poster

Celebrate the color and character of Italian wine culture with Chianti Bertolli – Esportazione Mondiale, a striking 1925 advertising poster by Italian artist Plinio Codognato.

Set against a deep black background, the composition features a smiling woman wearing a brilliant red headscarf and balancing an overflowing basket of red and golden grapes upon her head. Green grape leaves and trailing vines surround the basket, creating a vivid emblem of the harvest and the celebrated winemaking traditions of Tuscany.

Sweeping golden-yellow CHIANTI BERTOLLI lettering crowns the composition, accompanied by the phrase ESPORTAZIONE MONDIALE, or “worldwide export.” The text reflects Bertolli’s international ambitions while connecting its name to Castellina in Chianti, one of Tuscany’s historic wine-producing communities.

Codognato’s restrained composition, dramatic negative space, vibrant colors, and memorable central figure give the poster tremendous visual impact. Its black, red, gold, burgundy, and olive-green palette makes it an exceptional decorative piece for kitchens, dining rooms, wine cellars, home bars, restaurants, tasting rooms, cafés, and Italian-inspired interiors.
