Magnum 3Lt Siresol, Severino Collection - Jako Wine.

One could never have imagined a better partnership than the one between Jako and Severino Barzan. With his unique wine collection, Severino, owner of the Bottega del Vino, has long been one of the best-known personages in the world of wine. He was named “Man of the Year” in 1998 by Revue du Vin de France; the Bacchus Society of America has considered him as one of the outstanding vintners; he won the “Best Award of Excellence”, the most prestigious honor bestown by the famous magazine, Wine Spectator. Such enological treasures throughout Italy and abroad, have enabled the production of the great wines included in the exclusive Severino collection.

This is a ruby-red wine with deep garnet hues. Its variegated aroma is spiced with hints of vanilla and cherry. The round, full-bodied flavor culminates on a lightly spicy note.

The terrain lies in the hill country near Verona, between 100 and 350 meters above sea level. It is clay-rich with limestone patches. The cultivation system demands a double Veronese pergola. The plants are between 20 and 25 years old. Plant density is 2,700 vines per hectare, yielding 60 hectoliters per hectare.

Grapes are hand-harvested at the end of September. The grapes are dried for 60 days in order to gain high concentration. After stemming, they are softly pressed. Fermentation temperature is 25°. Maceration lasts for 10 days, with programmed punching 3 times daily.

The Cause

Congenital heart diseases are the most frequent congenital malformations, which are the third cause of death in infancy. In the world, today there are more than 5 million children with heart diseases waiting for an operation. Each year 1 million babies are born affected by congenital heart diseases: 800.000 of these have no chance of survival because they are born in poor countries, without doctors and adequate hospital structures.

For this reason “Bambini Cardiopatici nel Mondo” was founded in Milan in 1993. This was the inspiration of a group of physician and Italian voluntary workers, guided by Prof. Alessandro Frigiola, MD, Head of Cardiac Surgery at the Centre “E. Malan” of Policlinico San Donato, and Prof. Silvia Cirri, MD, Head of Intensive Care Unit of the Sant’Ambrogio Hospital, Milan.

The Association utilizes the voluntary collaboration of physicians of the most important Italian and foreign cardiac surgery centres leaded by San Donato Hospital Group of Milan, the coordinator of the projects organization. More than 100 volunteers (cardiologists, surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses and perfusionists) leave for missions in developing countries to operate and save children affected by congenital heart diseases.

The Association, in partnership with other humanitarian organizations and with the local governments, is also involved in projects of cooperation and development in the poorer countries: it has been active in the constitution of efficient paediatric cardiology centres so as to develop a local modern health system and gradually lower the infant mortality rate.
