Col Vetoraz DOCG: 25 years of excellence

During 2018, the Col Vetoraz members celebrated the 25th anniversary of the winery by personally delivering a prestigious award to 25 famous people. The protagonist of the gift was Valdobbiadene DOCG Superiore di Cartizze, which represents the top of Col Vetoraz's production.

To celebrate its first 25 years, the company has enclosed the Valdobbiadene DOCG Superiore di Cartizze in a precious magnum with a refined design, decorated with original Swarovski, produced exclusively in 25 copies only.

The twenty-five characters, recipients of the prestigious award, were chosen by the company itself for having distinguished themselves thanks to their work in various professional fields. 2018 was a traveling year, therefore, in the sign of a project of value that in itself contains all the work, passion and commitment that this winemaking industry has consistently supported along these first 25 years since its foundation, which took place in 1993 thanks to Francesco Miotto and his partners Loris Dall'Acqua (winemaker) and Paolo De Bortoli (agronomist), but started as far back as 1838 when the founding family, Miotto, settled on the homonymous hill from which the name originates: Col Vetoraz.

25 years also of tenacity passion and research: the same values that guided Col Vetoraz partners in the selection of the 25 characters, in whose work they found the same excellence. Here following in alphabetical order, the names of those to whom the recognition was given:
