The purpose of 100 Italian Excellences is to recognize 100 protagonists of the best of Italy, in recognition of the valuable contribution each of them has made to the growth of our country. Through the story of 100 Italian Excellences, the aim is to tell the story of beautiful Italy, of the individuals, companies, and organizations whose work contributes and has contributed to enhancing the emblem of a distinctive brand recognized throughout the world. Specifically, the Colle delle 100 Bottiglie was recognized for its courageous choices to reclaim and enhance the value of wine and oil through sustainable practices and interventions in the fields and in the production of two historic crus in the Lucca area that were experiencing a seemingly inevitable decline. The symbolic award was presented personally by the President of the LIBER Verdiana Dell'Anna Association, by the Chairman of the Honorary Committee, Sergio Santoro, former Deputy President of the Council of State, and by the publisher Riccardo Dell'Anna.
