Campagnolo Big - New Gift Box

Campagnolo Corkscrew

Definitely the sturdiest and most functional Italian corkscrew.

Thanks to its considerable size, 30 cm ,

you can without difficulty extract extremely hard corks.

 The Campagnolo corkscrew faithfully reports the genius of its inventor, Tullio Campagnolo.

In times of difficulty his genius, combined with great manual skill, always produced truly revolutionary inventions. Not surprisingly, some considered him a modern Leonardo da Vinci. A particularly tricky bottle and a corkscrew that was not up to snuff were the cause of this new manifestation of ingenuity, which has remained unchanged since 1966. The patented system of the self-centering telescopic bell always positions the vermillion in the central part of the cork, the large tempered steel vermillion, with its wide and sharp profile, ensures maximum grip on the cork, and the two large levers make it easy to extract even the corks of large reserves without jolting the bottle or raising the sediment typical of great wines.

These technical features and the use of the best materials have made this corkscrew a must-have, a symbol of genius recognized worldwide.

The titanium-finished body makes an already cult object unique, both to own and to give as a gift.

CAMPAGNOLO ARTISANSHIP Campagnolo’s signature artisanship gives the corkscrew its very own distinctive, unique personality. Each stage of its manufacture takes place in Vicenza, in the hands of those who, for years, have used their experience to make Campagnolo products. PURE ITALIAN DESIGN Quality materials and careful finishes accompany the sinuous shapes of its various parts. Each component is a characteristic feature of the Campagnolo brand. Like the screws, still today the heirs of a seventies Super Record crankset, an element that adorned the bikes of great names from the past – the likes of Merckx, Indurain and Gimondi. A MASTERPIECE OF FUNCTIONALITY A telescopic, self-centering bell positions the screw exactly in the middle of the cork and once screwed down, the two levers pull the cork out easily and delicately. This means that the bottle does not get shaken, which would disturb the sediment typical of aged wines. The corkscrew has also been designed to never twist completely through the cork, thus preventing pieces of cork dropping into the wine.

W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company è stata creata a inizio secolo, in un tempo in cui i coltelli tascabili erano indispensabili tanto quanto un orologio. Nel corso degli anni l'azienda si è affermata come una azienda leader nel lancio sul mercato di materiali nuovi e design innovativi.

Le radici dell'azienda risalgono al 1889, quando dei fratelli intraprendenti, William Russell (W.R.), Jean, John e Andrew, nella famiglia Case iniziarono a vendere coltelli artigianali dal retro di un furgone nella parte settentrionale dello stato di New York. Nel gennaio 1900, i fratelli costituirono la Case Brothers Cutlery Company, fondando così il primo marchio di famiglia Case.

J.R. Case, che chiamò l'azienda con il nome del padre, W.R., costituì la W.R. Case & Sons nella forma in cui oggi è conosciuta. Quando nel 1905 l'azienda si trasferì a Bradford, Pennsylvania, i quattro fratelli Case avevano fatto dei loro marchi di famiglia i nomi più rispettabili della coltelleria in America.

All'inizio della prima guerra mondiale, il governo fece appello alla Case per la produzione di coltelli militari per i combattenti americani. Durante il volo della “Molly Brown” nel 1965, agli astronauti Gus Grissom e John Young utilizzarono coltelli Case speciali nella missione spaziale della NASA.  Case ha raccolto ammiratori famosi e avidi collezionisti come l'ex Presidente americano, Dwight D. Eisenhower e la star della musica country, Randy Travis.
