QUALITY & CRAFTSMANSHIP / PIER VINO SIGNATURE

What makes
this flower different?

Look at the head. Touch the petals. Follow the stem. A full head, soft petals and a single natural stem reveal qualities that a diameter alone cannot describe.

AN IDEA OF NATURALNESS

A preserved hydrangea is best understood up close: follow its stem, look at the head from the side, and feel a petal.

01 / THE FEEL

Look beyond
the color.

Our preserved hydrangea petals remain soft and supple. This tactile quality is best assessed with a sample in hand, alongside the photographs.

WHAT TO NOTICE / A SOFT PETAL, RATHER THAN A DRY, CRUMBLY FEEL

02 / THE FORM

One bloom.
One stem.

An 18–22 cm Magnifica head is one natural bloom on one stem. It is full and rounded, not flattened; its generous volume does not come from binding several small stems together.

We know
the plant.

As direct producers, we cultivate, select and preserve our hydrangeas in Terlizzi, Puglia. Following the living plant through to the finished stem informs our decisions on head shape, petal texture and shade.

WHAT TO NOTICE / DIRECT PRODUCTION IN TERLIZZI, PUGLIA
HANDCRAFTED / INDIVIDUALLY CHECKED

Made by hand.
Seen one by one.

From harvest to packing, our hydrangeas follow a hands-on production process. Our team carries out the work manually, with rigorous quality checks throughout.

Before packing, our team inspects every hydrangea individually. Flower heads that bend excessively and flowers with crumpled petals do not pass selection. These checks give a concrete meaning to the standard of our collection.

Our production scale allows us to follow the flower closely. Available quantities reflect the time needed to work, select and check each hydrangea against the standards of our collection.

04 / OUR PRESERVATION PROCESS

Observation.
Then refinement.

Our preservation method is the result of continuous experimentation within the Pier Vino Studio. We preserve Magnifica and Elegante without bleaching agents or solvents.

Species-specific protocols and working parameters are refined through observation and testing. Our aim is a soft petal, a full dimensional head and the natural character of the flower.

05 / A SENSORY DETAIL

A quiet
botanical note.

Up close, our preserved hydrangeas have a delicate olfactory note reminiscent of tea and chamomile. It is part of the sensory experience of the flower; perception can vary from bloom to bloom.

Together with soft-touch petals, a rounded silhouette and an individual stem, this quiet note is a detail to discover with a sample in hand.

Texture. Shape. Detail.

Macro photographs reveal the surface and shape of the petals. Softness and the olfactory note are qualities to experience with a physical sample.
