The cheese Capo di Stato from La Casearia Carpenedo contains the richness of knowledge, passion, and sharing. All within reach, in fact two hands. One hand holds a glass of Capo di Stato and the other a slice of drunken cheese in this Treviso wine that has become legendary. The wine Capo di Stato delights our palates only in the best vintages: it comes from the selection of the historic vineyard from 1946 of the winery Loredan Gasparini made up of “100 plants”, where the microclimate of Montello gives it a distinct personality. This particular Rosso di Venegazzù is a special reserve produced every year in limited edition, highly sought after and appreciated by important connoisseurs, including those from the political world.
The Capo di Stato cheese is made with raw cow's milk from the high mountains. There are 24 months of minimum aging for this unique reserve. It is then aged by immersion in the pomace of the prestigious Venetian wine. The result is a cheese that only hides its true essence, elegance, and balance from the distracted. Once the long process is completed, the wheels are vacuum-packed and placed inside a cotton sack that protects them from light.
Its fame comes from a famous gaffe, which occurred in Venice in 1967, when the French general and president Charles De Gaulle was visiting for the Biennale. At the Gritti Hotel, he was served a Venegazzù Rosso and he praised it as “extraordinary Bordeaux”. It was the international consecration of a wine born in the heart of Alta Marca Trevigiana, which from that moment took the name Capo di Stato.
The cheese Capo di Stato from La Casearia Carpenedo (which we present on this page in a quarter shape of about 1.5kg) is a hard, grainy and humid cheese. It will undoubtedly be the star of your cheese boards, alongside other aged cheeses, perhaps from the Alps. The intense flavor that comes from the aging indicates how well it pairs with structured red wines, such as a Valpolicella Amarone DOCG.
Cylindrical shape, with straight edges and flat faces, rough rind with remnants of grape pomace. The color is irregular and has the characteristic mottled dark wine appearance. In the paste: presence of small irregular holes. On the nose, we perceive sensations of red fruit typical of the Capo di Stato wine, and on the palate, it is particularly soluble, with a juicy sensation of wine.
