The cheese Capo di Stato from La Casearia Carpenedo contains the richness of knowledge, passion, and sharing. All within reach, indeed 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 originates from the selection of the historic vineyard of 1946 of the cellar 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 mountain cow's milk. There are 24 months of minimum aging for this unique reserve. It is then refined by immersion in the pomace of the prestigious Veneto wine. The result is a cheese that conceals its true essence, elegance, and balance, only from those who are not paying attention. The forms, once the long process is complete, are vacuum packed and placed inside a cotton bag that protects them from light.
Its fame comes from a famous gaffe that 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 marked the international consecration of a wine born in the heart of the Alta Marca Trevigiana, which from that moment on took the name Capo di Stato.
The cheese Capo di Stato from La Casearia Carpenedo (which we present here in a 300-gram portion) is a hard, granular, and moist cheese. It will undoubtedly be the star of your cheese boards, alongside other aged cheeses, perhaps from the mountains. The intense flavor that comes from the aging indicates that it pairs excellently with structured red wines, such as an Amarone DOCG from Valpolicella.
Cylindrical shape, with straight sides and flat faces, rough rind with residues of grape pomace. The color is irregular and has a characteristic marbled vinous 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, on the palate it is particularly soluble, with a juicy wine sensation.
