The World Cup in Brazil is still a year away, but in the meantime, the best world teams will compete in Brazil for the Confederations Cup title, which kicks off June 15th
The kick-off of the World Cup in Brazil is less than three months away, but fans are already beginning to count the days. Football stars are honing their shoes and for wine lovers, the biggest news is the FIFA choice of the official wine. It is "Faces", designed for the occasion by the manufacturer Lidio Carraro (www.lidiocarraro.com).
And, as WineNews.tv told everyone a year ago, the wine speaks Italian, just like Monica Rossetti, the young green gold winemaker of Italian origins (and she is enrolled in the Master of Science in Inter-Molecular and wine markets course at the University of Udine, in collaboration with Padua and Verona Universities), who oversaw the production of the red, white and rosé wines. They are the expression of the best of young viticulture of the country and thanks to the World Cup will be on the international stage, which owes its vineyards to second and third generation Italian immigrants who first produced wine there while away from home.
The agreement provides for the use of the Fifa trademark on the wine that the Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has already tasted at the wine festival in Caxias do Sul. The project, as mentioned, includes a white wine, fruit of the three most grown white grape varieties in Brazil, a rosé created by two particularly attractive for color and freshness of taste red grape varieties, and a red, which represents multi-ethnicity, created from a blend of eleven wines, just like the number of players on a football team. The wines have already been "tested" at the Confederations Cup in 2013, and all the 200.000 test bottles were consumed. Due to these results, there will be one million bottles of vintage 2013 available for the World Cup.
