Fonseca
Institutional Website
Webcomum developed the new institutional website for Fonseca, one of the most prestigious Port wine houses, with a legacy dating back to 1815. Internationally recognized for the excellence of its wines several of which have received 100-point ratings from renowned critics Fonseca remains deeply connected to the Douro terroir and committed to sustainability. These values were central to our approach in crafting a digital presence that is both authentic and contemporary.
The website was designed to strengthen the brand's digital identity, showcase its portfolio of wines, promote enotourism experiences at the cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia and Quinta do Panascal, and highlight editorial content such as recipes, pairing suggestions, and cocktails.
We built a structure focused on smooth navigation, responsive design, and a strong visual component, with multilingual support that reflects both the brand’s heritage and its international reach.
