Ceci Cellars dedicates wine to Pope

(ANSA) - Bologna, January 21 - Ceci Cellars dedicated a bottle of its Otello Nerodi Lambrusco wine to Pope Francis to mark the pontiff's audience with important Italian wine producers on Wednesday.
    Crafted by the winemaker from Torrile, near Parma, the bottle was wrapped in white velvet, imprinted with the Vatican State seal, and, in a nod to the Vatican's flag, had the pope's name written in yellow Swarovski crystals.
    The papal audience, which also included oenologists, sommeliers, journalists and representatives of Italy's gourmet associations, was organized by Franco Ricci, president of the Italian Sommelier Foundation.
