Head of State 300g

The cheese Capo di Stato from La Casearia Carpenedo contains the richness of knowledge, passion, and sharing. All within reach, indeed two hands. One hand holds a glass of Capo di Stato and the other a slice of drunken cheese in this Treviso wine that has become legendary. The wine Capo di Stato delights our palates only in the best vintages: it originates from the selection of the historic vineyard of 1946 of the cellar Loredan Gasparini made up of "100 plants," where the microclimate of Montello gives it a distinct personality. This particular Rosso di Venegazzù is a special reserve produced every year in limited edition, highly sought after and appreciated by important connoisseurs, including those from the political world.

The Capo di Stato cheese is made with raw mountain cow's milk. There are 24 months of minimum aging for this unique reserve. It is then refined by immersion in the pomace of the prestigious Veneto wine. The result is a cheese that conceals its true essence, elegance, and balance, only from those who are not paying attention. The forms, once the long process is complete, are vacuum packed and placed inside a cotton bag that protects them from light. 

WINE CAPO DI STATO: CURIOSITIES

Its fame comes from a famous gaffe that occurred in Venice in 1967, when the French general and president Charles De Gaulle was visiting for the Biennale. At the Gritti Hotel, he was served a Venegazzù Rosso and he praised it as "extraordinary Bordeaux." It marked the international consecration of a wine born in the heart of the Alta Marca Trevigiana, which from that moment on took the name Capo di Stato.
