MEETING IN THE SPIRIT OF THE OLYMPIC MEDALS
An exciting meeting under the banner of talent, passion and the deep bond between sport and the territory: the event entitled “Stories of excellence and shared achievements in the name of Olympic medals”, promoted by the Consortium for the Protection of Prosecco DOC, took place in Verona at the Prosecco DOC Theatre, inside Stand B4 – Hall 4 of Vinitaly.
After the welcome address by the President of the Consortium, Giancarlo Guidolin, together with the Director Luca Giavi, the meeting highlighted experiences and successful paths linked to important sports supported by Prosecco DOC, through the direct testimony of athletes, managers and protagonists of Italian sport.
On stage were Alessandro Mulas, Vice President of the Barcolana, Claudio Demartis, Owner of the Prosecco DOC sailing team Shockwave3, and Piero Garbellotto, President of the Italian champion team Prosecco DOC Imoco Volley. The meeting was further enriched by the speech of Veneto Region Agriculture Councillor Federico Caner.
Commitment, determination and team spirit were the central themes of the talk, during which, fully expressing the values that the world of wine and sport have in common, winning athletes recounted their experiences:
- Johanna Wolosz and Sarah Fahr, gold medallists at the Paris 2024 Olympics with the Italian national volleyball team,
- Matteo Parenzan, Paralympic gold medallist in table tennis (class 6) in Paris 2024,
- Karen Putzer, former skier and two-time five-ring medallist among her countless successes.
The initiative offered a moment to celebrate the link between Prosecco DOC and Italian excellence: on and off the field, Prosecco DOC continues to team up with success stories, spreading the quality and identity of our country internationally.
