base de madeira pau violeta - CEPA

Singular pieces.
Elevating the wine ritual.

CEPA celebrates wine through authorial objects, adding value, originality, and exclusivity to the act of serving and to the presentation of the bottle and stopper at the table.
 
Crafted by experienced local woodworkers from solid wood of selected origin or Portuguese cork, each creation is more than a distinctive design object: it expresses simplicity of design, the quality and authenticity of the material, and a deep connection to wine traditions.
 
By interconnecting bottle, stopper, and wine with the materials at the origin of their production and preservation, CEPA pieces transform the act of serving into a refined sensorial experience, through distinct gestures of art.
 
“CEPA was born from the perception of an absence, of an omission: the way we carry and place the wine bottle — without its stopper — on the table hardly reflects the symbolic and cultural value of wine.”
 
Pedro Geraldes, founder of CEPA Wine
A origem

Design.
Innovation that creates tradition.

It all began with an intention. A pencil draws three circles, creating an object that ennobles a tradition.

Designed by architects Pedro Geraldes Santos and Nuno Travasso, with the contribution of the Douro Museum and the Douro and Port Wine Institute (IVDP), CEPA provides value to the way in which wine is transported, served and presented. Designed to bring the bottle back to the table, as a support not only for the bottle, but also for the cork, this piece reinvents the tradition of serving wine.

“Ever since I first saw CEPA, I wanted to bring it to Euskalduna. It’s an elegant, unique piece that makes all the difference when serving wine. The materials are of the highest quality and it has a very special identity. Being directly involved in this project makes me very proud.”

“CEPA is an elegant and practical piece of design that draws attention to the bottle on the table, dignifying the wine and increasing its perceived quality.”
