The group has demonstrated design skills and mastery of the method of production: to make a cuvée is not enough to know the area and the final product, but you have to imagine the wine from the raw material, the base wines, and providing for their evolution over three-plus years of aging in bottle. The blend
winner was made by assembling the following percentages of base wines of 2009 vintage: 15% for deposits
fluvio-glacial
Colluvi distal 10% 5% 45%

Cuvée Design, designed by Giacomo and Giulio Ceppi Mojoli in collaboration with the Polytechnic of Milan, this year has reached 23 cities in Italy involving 650 fans. The top 50, those who have shown a remarkable ability in the design of a wine, were invited to the grand final.
Create, design is to have the method, rigor and passion. It means being sensitive to a concept of creativity that is both discipline and versatility. Inspired This was also the perfect menu for the evening which involves the manufacturer of meat Granda, Sergio Capaldo, and the chef Vittorio Fusari's Pantry Bread and Wine in experimenting with different ways of cooking cuts of meat and in combination with bubbles of Franciacorta Castaldi counties. A concrete example of the "versatility" of food and wine through knowledge, method and creative experimentation.
