What better champion could we have wished for our event than an outstanding cyclist who is also an excellent wine producer?
31 Marzo 1970 - 31 Marzo 2020
Francesco Moser ed il Palio del Recioto, “una faccia, una razza”
The only one, so far and who knows for how much longer, who won the cycling g. p. and returned in 2007 as a farm, to participate in our wine festival.
Thank you for helping to enhance our event, thank you for the emotions you have given us. Thank you Francesco because you are "one of us".
Excerpt from the Arena di Verona
"The Trentino-born Francesco Moser (the latest in a long line of cyclists from the family headed by the professional Aldo) won the G.P. del Recioto, which is promoted annually by the Negrar Festivities Committee.
The victory, the first as an amateur achieved by Moser, who had already been the 1969 CSI Italian champion for the cadet category, was achieved in a strong manner and in the most demanding part of the route.
In fact, as soon as the road began to climb towards the towns of Torbe and Prun where the G.P. della Montagna was located, the Trentino rider gave a show of skill and power, decisively breaking away from his five breakaway companions and building up a regular lead, both uphill and on the subsequent descent and on the remaining flat stretch, so much so that he arrived at the finish line with a lead of over a minute.
