Sperlari 

Renewing a historic Italian brand, enhancing its leadership in the nougat segment.

Our Strategists and Designers collaborated with Sperlari’s Marketing Team to redefine Sperlari’s Seasonal range centered on nougats as a true icon of Italian confectionery.

Strategic Objectives

  • Reinforce leadership and top-of-mind positioning, elevating perceived quality and value.
  • Rationalize and reorganize the extensive portfolio by dividing it into clear sub-ranges (Classic Nougats vs. Soft; Chocolate-Covered; Torroncini; Morbidelli) to avoid overlap, and to facilitate the introduction of innovations and NPDs.
  • Rebuild a clear and elegant cross-packaging system ensuring extendibility and intuitive navigation.
  • Express taste, richness, and seasonal warmth through design, celebrating the generous festive spirit of the Christmas period.

Packaging Identity & System

The new nougats packaging system merges emotional and rational dimensions (heritage and modernity, indulgence and clarity) through:

  • A bold logo presence to ensure consistency and strong shelf visibility while reaffirming the brand’s heritage and its promise Emozioni e Qualità – Cremona 1836.
  • A clear packaging system and modularity that allows differentiation across products and SKUs (Classico vs. Friabile vs. Ricoperto).
  • Premium festive cues, using precious tones and refined details to elevate the overall proposition.
  • A renewed product depiction that enhances appetite-appeal, authenticity and the perception of rich, satisfying taste.

TORRONCINI & MORBIDELLI

Torroncini and Morbidelli represent the bite-sized version of the classic nougat bars (Tenero; Friabile; Ricoperti), offered in a variety of flavors and combinations for small, shareable moments of everyday pleasure.
The packaging system maintains clear coherence with the bar range, adopting a vertical format and further simplifying the front-of-pack layout into three key areas:

  • Strong Brand Block: the Sperlari logo extends almost edge to edge, highlighted on a red tag.
  • Flavor Zone: positioned at the centre to drive appetite appeal, featuring a dedicated color code along with the product name and descriptor.
  • A transparent window: allowing immediate visibility of the bites’ size and quantity.

The result is a system that strengthens brand recognition and equity while making the seasonal offer instantly desirable: a perfect balance between Italian craftsmanship and contemporary design attitude.

With this powerful redesign, Sperlari affirms its USP—Enriching Emotions—transforming the nougat category into a vibrant and relevant expression of contemporary Italian excellence, and reaffirming the brand as the benchmark for Italian nougats in the seasonal confectionery market.
