Aosta, In the North of Italy, is an alpine valley with a defined four seasons, flora, fauna and soils very similar to Central Otago. Aosta and Central Otago both lie on the 45th parallel north, and the synergies between the regions terroirs are striking.

Brainchild of Michael Hill and acclaimed chef Ben Bayly, the cuisine of Aosta is inspired by the cooking techniques of Northern Italy, paired with ingredients carefully selected from growers, breeders, suppliers and wine grown on the land of Central Otago.

CRAFT conceived the Aosta brand identity and typography, expressed across brass facade signage, menu design and restaurant collateral.
