Cantina Goccia
Leading the Packaging Revolution, one bottle at a time
Sustainable Wines from the Heart of Umbria: Cantina Goccia has always been committed to sustainability and aims to reduce the environmental impact of its wines. Aware that over 50% of the carbon footprint of bottled wines comes from glass bottles and transportation, in 2020 we pioneered the use of the Frugalpac bottle: five times lighter and with an 84% lower carbon footprint compared to glass. A true green revolution!

The Frugal Bottle: Sustainable Innovation
The 75cl Frugal Bottle is made from 94% recycled paperboard with a food-grade liner to hold the wine. Developed by UK-based Frugalpac, specialists in sustainable packaging, the bottle was created to drastically reduce environmental impact.
Why it’s unique:
- Lightweight: Weighs only 70g – up to five times less than a glass bottle. Easier to carry, lower transport emissions.
- Sustainable: Life Cycle Analysis (Intertek) found it has up to 84% lower carbon footprint than glass and over one third less than recycled plastic.
- Easy to recycle: Simply separate the liner or place the whole bottle in paper recycling; it will be processed during repulping.
- Less plastic: Uses up to 77% less plastic than a standard plastic bottle.
- Branding impact: Fully printable surface for 360° visual customisation.
Lightweighting: Sustainable Innovation
Lightweighting means redesigning the bottle by optimising wall thickness and glass distribution to deliver the same strength with less material. Cutting mass also cuts emissions: moving from ~500 g to ~300 g can reduce the CO₂ associated with bottle production and transport by about 30%. It’s no coincidence the practice is now widely adopted; leading industry sources and technical bodies rank it among the key packaging strategies to reduce costs and logistical impact.
