Big the corkscrew

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.

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 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.

The famous Campagnolo BIG corkscrew is also availbale with the new chrome and dark chrome finishes that reflects the philosophy of all Campagnolo products: maximum functionality, quality and design. Indeed, to prevent cork residues from being left in the bottle following incorrect extraction of the cork, the levers of the Campagnolo BIG corkscrew are designed so that the vermilion automatically centres itself on the cork, for optimal extraction every time.
