Opificio Fred on tour
If you follow us on social media, you have surely noticed that in the last month Federico and our Brand Ambassador Elena Romanelli have toured Italy and America, raising the name of the brand.
Stop by stop they made us taste and discover the spirits of Opificio Fred, interacting and meeting new people passionate about this fantastic world of beverage and mixology.
What we do in Opificio Fred with passion, study and dedication is nothing other than to enhance the botanical heritage of our territory, telling the world about the authenticity of Friuli Venezia Giulia and Italy. Little by little we are making Polcenigo, listed as one of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy but a small village in the Friulian foothills, known in the world!
These were the stops on our Italian tour, including fairs, events and masterclasses:
- Bar To Be, Sicily
- Barnext, Padua
- Event in Masseria Cuturi, the cradle of Primitivo di Manduria, Puglia
- Tasting Day, Turin
From September 12th to 25th our Ambassador was busy with a fantastic tour of the stars and stripes. It is always a great emotion to see our bottles in the best clubs and bars in the United States of America: a great success for artisanal products like ours.
These were stops on our American tour in collaboration with Oliver Mc
Crum Wines and Spirits:
- Minneapolis: “Minny” is the city of lakes, sports and also of Opificio Fred
because it is present in many places in the city.
- Chicago: Windy City, one of the largest metropolises in the United States. Birthplace of the blues, renowned for its nightlife and entertainment.
- Kansas City, Missouri, where it's super easy to order cocktails made with
Amaro16 and Fernet25 JERBARIS
- Saint Louis: here we attended GinWorld, the largest Gin festival
of the United States.
- New Orleans: The Big Easy. It is a city like no other: an open-air amusement park. Musicians in every venue, street artists, characters in unusual clothing and food that is a mix of multiple cultures.
- Atlanta: our tour concluded here with a great event to present our entire line of spirits.
Back from America we immediately left for Berlin, where we participated in the Bar Convent Berlin, the most important international fair dedicated to the world of bar & beverage. Here our Export Manager Giovanni Mattia Pianca presented the Alkemil line, the range of liqueurs designed for mixology professionals.
Alkemil like Alchemilla, the plant loved by alchemists who used the dew that settled on the surface of the leaves to search for the Philosopher's Stone and to prepare the Elixir of Long Life. As in ancient times, even today Federico makes his products by hand, with Friulian botanicals and in limited quantities, following an ancient recipe from the 19th century.
The new line of Alkemil liqueurs is composed of Imperial Curaçao, Bergamot Rosolio, Crème de Cassis, Cherry Ratafia, Maraschino, Creme Violette and Alchermes. Right now we are in Genoa at the Tourism and Food& Drink Exchange with the Opus Loci project, where together with other Friulian companies, we present tours that combine history and food and wine representing the Unesco Sites. We, obviously, represent Polcenigo with Palù di Livenza.
