Lunedì 20 settembre, alle 18:30, Banfi e Fondazione Banfi hanno presentato la terza edizione del Premio di Laurea in Viticoltura ed Enologia Rudy Buratti e il Bilancio di Sostenibilità 2020.
Premio di Laurea in Viticoltura ed Enologia Rudy Buratti
The Banfi Foundation, through Sanguis Jovis-Alta Scuola del Sangiovese, and the Scuola Enologica di San Michele all'Adige have decided to remember the extraordinary figure of Rudy, who died prematurely in January 2018, by dedicating a degree award in Viticulture and Oenology to him. Rudy, had graduated from the Scuola Enologica di San Michele all'Adige in 1981, and had arrived at Banfi in 1983. One of the main protagonists of the extraordinary entrepreneurial history of the Ilcinese company, he was a great promoter of the mission of Sanguis Jovis, and the award intends to remember his human and professional figure, taking him as an example to young people in the sector.
The winner of the third edition, which, like the previous ones, was an incredible success, is Mario Wegher with his study on 'Comparison of two methods for reducing bunch compactness in Vitis Vinifera vs. Pinot Grigio'.
Stefano Tiefenthaler, on the other hand, is the winner of the second edition of the Prize, which, due to the pandemic situation, could not be held regularly in 2020. Dr. Tiefenthaler presents his study on the 'Determination of Rotundone Concentration in Italian Syrah Wines'.
In addition to receiving a scholarship, both winners had the opportunity to attend the fourth edition of the Summer School free of charge. The theme was 'Maturation and maturity of Sangiovese: the search for a balance between viticulture and oenology'.
