TEAMING UP TO SPRINT
TOWARDS ITALIAN EXCELLENCE
The GIRO D’ITALIA
is a race—but also a journey through regions, cultures and local identities. A living heritage that unfolds stage after stage, telling the story of Italy, its landscapes and a one-of-a-kind way of life.
THE PINOT GRIGIO DOC DELLE VENEZIE
is born from a unique territory: the Triveneto, embracing Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia and the Autonomous Province of Trento. An area shaped by an ideal microclimate, expressed in every sip through lightness, versatility and style.
WHY THESE EXCELLENCES ARE ONE OF A KIND
THE GIRO D’ITALIA
A cornerstone of Italian sporting culture. Founded in 1909, the Corsa Rosa is an epic narrative that crosses Italy, celebrating its roads, its history, its legends.

THE DOC DELLE VENEZIE
The largest viticultural area in Italy, accounting for around 85% of total Italian Pinot Grigio production, already the world’s leading producer by volume. A scale that speaks of one of the most structured realities in European winemaking—and of a true ability to work as a team through a virtuous model of collective governance.
