Both wines carry the distinctive seal certifying the State guarantee applied since April 2010 to Valdobbiadene DOCG.

The winery have also introduced a striking collection of 80 numbered foil tops which when correctly assembled make up a colourful picture showing the famous chameleon which symbolises the winery. This completely original idea has been received with great enthusiasm and many collectors have already contacted the winery to find out more.

For the last nine years the two journalists with Il Papillon (the name of their consumer movement) have recognised the best wines of the year always excluding from the list any winery which has received the award in previous years. Up to today 900 wineries have been recognised. The 100 from 2010 will receive their awards at Golosaria which is taking place from November 6th to 8th at the Hotel Meli in Milan. The ceremony also offers visitors the opportunity to sample the award-winning wines.

The award is a challenge�, explains Marco Gatti who started the prize nine years ago. We want to demonstrate the increasingly high quality of Italian wines today by offering consumers an opportunity to get to know a wide range of wines. This is different from the more traditional guides which are often the privilege of just a hundred or so labels�.
