"Première" of Torcolato D.O.C. Breganze

The edition number twenty of the "Première" of Torcolato D.O.C. Breganze will come to life on Sunday, 18th January 2015, in Piazza Mazzini in Breganze. The event celebrates the precious wine specialty of Vicenza: Torcolato, known and appreciated all over the world, the result of a winemaking tradition historically demonstrated already by Aureliano Acanti, in the poem "Roccolo Ditirambo", printed in Venice in 1754.



Twenty years have passed since the recognition of the "D.O.C." for this sumptuous nectar obtained from the pressing of native Vespaiola grapes, harvested in September and dried for months in the fruit cellar: for the occasion, in addition to the traditional "First Pressing" of the withered grapes conferred by all the producers who are members of the Consortium, an exclusive and unique celebratory Balthazar of 12 liters will be filled, under the direction of sommelier Alessandro Scorsone. For such a prestigious birthday Anonima Magnagati will be necessarily present, the company interpreter of the most outspoken Vicenza "spirit", that will give the square of Breganze a tasty "theatrical–wine" entertainment, the prelude to the evening show at the Cinema Verdi.

As every year, the stage will be colored by the Magnificent Fraglia del Torcolato D.O.C. Breganze coordinated and supported by the verve of Franco Ghirardello: among the institutional moments of the Breganze Brotherhood there will be the handover between the outgoing Grand Prior and his successor for the next three years, the appointment of new members and of the worldwide Ambassador of Torcolato for the year 2015.

Moreover, the winner of the tenth edition of the graphic competition for the creation of the Torcolato label of the "Première" will be awarded (here the Regulation to participate). Every year those who want it have a chance to propose their own sketches of the label for a unique and exclusive wine, in limited production and trade off: Torcolato produced from the must obtained during the public pressing in Piazza Mazzini.

In the "before and after" pressing Fruttaio Tour® is confirmed, the opening to the public of the wineries with tours and tastings, so you can see where and how our Torcolato is made! In Piazza Mazzini, moreover, in the morning you will discover the best of the local culinary traditions thanks to the market of typical products of the Road and Torcolato and, a must to try, the breathtaking view from the "Diedo" bell tower with the "upper" toast.



A rich program for the worthy celebration of a historic moment for the D.O.C. Torcolato.
