CRISTOFORI WINE COLLECTION

Dressed with exclusive labels designed by young designers, the bottles will be produced starting this year by the Consorzio di Tutela Vini Colli Euganei to honor the pianist who won the 2025 Cristofori d'Oro Award , established as part of the Bartolomeo Cristofori International Piano Festival , named after the Paduan genius who invented the piano. Each year, the magnum will contain the Colli Euganei winner of the San Martino Trophy, a selection that takes place during the DOC Wine Exhibition in Luvigliano (Padua). The first magnum of the collection, created by the Verona-based studio Paffi , will be awarded on Thursday, September 18th in Padua to Russian-German pianist Lilya Zilberstein. The wine contained in the bottle will be the Colli Euganei Rossura dei Briganti 2018 from the Turetta Cà Bianca winery, based in Cinto Euganeo.

< applied manually, The 2025 Cristofori d'Oro Award label was conceived and designed as a design object by Giulia Peretti and Silvia Recalcati , owners of Studio Paffi in Affi (Verona), former finalists for the Compasso d'Oro design award, and authors of the concept and graphic design for the recent 28th cycle of the ADI Design Index, the volume that collects the best works of Italian design, published by ADI (Association for Industrial Design). The image's profile traces the silhouette of a piano seen from above, transforming the Padua festival's flagship instrument into a graphic symbol of elegance and recognizability. The minimalism of black and white, enriched by refined tone-on-tone contrasts, creates an effect of understated preciousness, simultaneously evoking the rigor of classical music and the craftsmanship of creation. The print was made using ultraviolet technology, using white ink on Fedrigoni Self-Adhesive "Cotone Nero Intense" paper, digital cutting, and manual embossing. The print was produced by Stamperia di Lazise (Verona).

The Colli Euganei contained in the magnum of the 2025 edition of the Cristofori d'Oro Award is a classic Bordeaux blend, made from Cabernet and Merlot from a vineyard cultivated on the red scaglia slopes of the Euganean Hills, a few steps from the so-called Buso dei Briganti, a cave where, according to popular legend, thieves once hid: it is this legendary tale that the Turetta family chose to draw inspiration from in naming the wine.
