The Agapito Rico Bottle was designed to honor Agapito Rico. Rico was an important figure in the DO of Jumilla Spain because he was a pioneer in achieving [quality wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quinta-de-adorigo) in this region. Considering how [the bottle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceci-1938) is covered in dirt and soil, the piece emits a naturalistic feel.

Designer Eduardo del Fraile obviously wanted Agapito Rico to be honored as a nature-loving winemaker because the Agapito Rico Bottle is definitely "down to earth."
