corkscrew

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.

HISTORY The Tirabusciò corkscrew is an exclusive creation from the Coltelleria Saladini. It is not just a design product and actually has very unique features. It is a particularly effective tool which optimises the leverage action with a different motion compared with usual corkscrews. In fact, its leverage mechanism works by getting traction on the inside of the bottle neck, which helps to pull the cork out as soon as you press downwards, rather than just extracting it when you pull up. In a nutshell, it makes the best use of the principle of leverage, which allows you to hold the bottle firmly on the table and to remove the cork without any problems. The Tirabusciò is light and coated with various natural materials. It can be completely dismantled, which guarantees the best maintenance and performance.
