“We, as Ziliani Family, wish to convey our deepest gratitude to the esteemed judges and the entire CSWWC competition for the exceptional recognition assigned to our winery. The acknowledgment of our 61 Extra Brut NV as the World Champion Classic Non Vintage Brut is truly an extraordinary honor. This award signifies a great achievement in our winemaking history, underscoring the enduring dedication and continuos pursuit of excellence that defines our family’s commitment to the craft.
We are profoundly grateful for the acknowledgment, which serves as a validation of the path our father and the father of Franciacorta, Franco Ziliani, initially traced for us. Moreover this recognition reaffirms that we are moving in the right direction. Thank you to the entire CSWWC competition and all the people involved for recognizing and celebrating our passion for winemaking. We are truly honored to be awarded alongside other outstanding wineries from around the world.”
