Prima del Torcolato 2016

On the third Sunday of January the 21st edition of the first pressing of withered Vespaiole grapes will take place

They were harvested in September. They were chosen – cluster by cluster – to face four months of drying. They have been protected in the fruit cellars of the "Breganze DOC" wineries for so long and the third Sunday of January will be squeezed, finally. Those are the Vespaiola grapes of the 2015 vintage, for the production of Torcolato, the sweet gold of Breganze, that will be the protagonists of the twenty–first edition of "Prima del Torcolato". The event takes place on the third Sunday of January, ie 17 January 2016, in Piazza Mazzini in Breganze: the grapes of all producers of the DOC area will be united in the ancient wine press to produce the first must of the new Torcolato, the jewel of Vicenza oenology boasting more and more fans worldwide. The event will be as always a festive occasion, with re–enactments of local traditions and of ancient crafts, market of typical products and final tasting of the freshly produced must, which will be offered to the public as a good omen for a year that promises to be extraordinary thanks to the particularly favourable climate.
