Federico Cremasco on Tour
Federico on tour
If you follow us on social media, you'll surely have noticed that over the past month, Federico and our Brand Ambassador Elena Romanelli have been touring Italy and America, promoting the brand.
Stop after stop, they’ve offered tastings and introduced our range, interacting with and meeting new people passionate about the fantastic world of beverages and mixology.
What we do with passion, study, and dedication is nothing less than enhancing the botanical heritage of our land, telling the world about the authenticity of Friuli Venezia Giulia and Italy. Little by little, we are making Polcenigo, recognized as one of Italy's most beautiful villages, yet a small village in the Friulian foothills, known worldwide!
These were the stops on our Italian tour, including fairs, events, and masterclasses:
- Bar To Be, Sicily
- Barnext, Padua
- Event at Masseria Cuturi, the home of Primitivo di Manduria, Puglia
- Tasting Day, Turin
From September 12th to 25th, our Ambassador was involved in a fantastic stars and stripes tour. It's always a great thrill to see our bottles in the best venues and bars in the United States of America: a great success for artisanal products like ours.
These were the stops on our American tour in collaboration with Oliver Mc
Crum Wines and Spirits:
- Minneapolis: “Minny” is the city of lakes, sports, and also Opificio Fred,
as it is present in many venues in the city.
- Chicago: Windy City, one of the largest metropolises in the United States. The birthplace of blues, renowned for its nightlife and entertainment.
- Kansas City, Missouri, where it is very easy to order cocktails made with
Amaro16 and Fernet25 JERBARIS
- Saint Louis: here we participated in GinWorld, the largest Gin festival
in the United States.
- New Orleans: the Big Easy. It’s a city like no other: an open-air amusement park. Musicians in every venue, street artists, unusually dressed characters, and food that is a mix of multiple cultures.
- Atlanta: our tour concluded here with a major event presenting our entire line of spirits.
After returning from America, we immediately left for Berlin, where we participated in Bar Convent Berlin, the most important international fair dedicated to the bar & beverage world. Here our Export Manager Giovanni Mattia Pianca presented the Alkemil line, the range of liqueurs designed for mixology professionals.
Alkemil, like Alchemilla, the plant beloved by alchemists who used the dew that settled on the surface of its leaves to search for the Philosopher's Stone and prepare the Elixir of long life. As in ancient times, Federico still crafts his products by hand today, using Friulian botanicals and in limited quantities, following an ancient 19th-century recipe.
The new Alkemil liqueur line includes Curaçao Imperiale, Rosolio Bergamotto, Crème de Cassis, Cherry Ratafia, Maraschino, Creme Violette, and Alchermes. Just these days, we are in Genoa at the Tourism and Food & Drink Exchange with the Opus Loci project, where, together with other Friulian companies, we are presenting tours that combine history and food and wine, representing UNESCO sites. We, of course, represent Polcenigo with Palù di Livenza.
