The CAPO DI STATO was originally created as a “Venegazzù Superiore” by “della Casa”; following its initial launch, it was frequently served at official dinners hosted by the City of Venice, to the extent that by the 1960s it could count amongst its admirers various heads of state, to whom it thus owes its name. Created by Count Loredan, it is made from a selection of grapes, in particular those from an old vineyard dating back to 1946 known as the "Vigna delle 100 piante" situated in Venegazzù (TV), where the Montello terroir (50 km north of Venice) lends it a truly unique character. It is a consistently original wine, deep and warm in colour, with an intense bouquet rich in aromas of wild berries and spices. Full-bodied and substantial, with soft tannins, it is persuasive and endlessly complex on the palate. A blend, therefore, with a strong personality, never reduced to the banal fruit/oak formula, which always expresses itself with remarkable aromatic originality and a distinctively robust flavour, so much so that it has been described as an "icon of the Bordeaux-style blend". As a token of gratitude to Charles de Gaulle, who praised this wine as a Bordeaux, the artist Tono Zancanaro was commissioned to create two special labels to be sent as a gift to the presidential couple: one dedicated to Yvonne, featuring the figure of a man with the inscription "des roses pour madame", whilst the one for her husband depicts a woman with the words "…et pour Monsieur la Bombe".

The VENEGAZZU’ is Count Loredan’s historic wine, recognised internationally as one of the first high-quality wines produced in Italy; its first vintage, from 1951, is also believed to have been the first Italian Bordeaux-style blend. It is the full expression of the Venegazzù terroir, in the Alta Marca Trevigiana region north of Venice. Created in the 1950s as the result of a meticulous selection of the estate’s finest grapes, it has always represented an original and pioneering approach to blending Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec, where the wonderful freshness of Venegazzù’s iron-rich soils lends a natural elegance. A specific sub-zone, Venegazzù, was even created within the Montello DOC for this unique wine – a truly rare occurrence amongst Italian wine appellations. A wine of great intensity and elegance, it masterfully combines a ‘substantial’ structure with the estate’s winemaking tradition.

The RIBOLLA GIALLA, a flagship grape variety of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, finds one of its most authentic expressions in the Collio area. Here, amongst the hills of ponca, the ancient calcareous marl that characterises these slopes, it develops a vibrant personality, combining freshness, savouriness, and aromatic depth. It opens with delicate notes of acacia blossom and hints of woodland undergrowth, accompanied by subtle mineral nuances. On the palate, it is lively and dynamic, enhanced by a pleasant tension that invites another sip. A wine that truly reflects the character of the Collio area: reserved at first, but ultimately revealing warmth and generosity.
