Moravian winery wins prestigious award at Italian wine competition

The Moravian Bzenec winery won a prestigious award at the international wine competition Vinitaly, held in the Italian city of Verona. The winery, which received a prize for best rosé at Vinitaly three years ago, received the Premio Speciale award for best overall collection submitted this year. A spokesman for the Czech National Wine Center said on Tuesday that the prize highlighted the superior quality of all wines produced by the Bzenec winery, not just of one individual product. A total of 56 wines from 22 wineries in the Czech Republic competed at Vinitaly this year, 16 took home awards.
