Sacacorchos Neumatico

" (Pneumatic Corkscrew) offered in 2004 in the Emilio Piaggio

wine accessories line. Eduardo Castro-

Olivera writes: “It has been made in

Argentina following an Italian family tradition. The founder of the line was Mr. Emilio

Piaggio, my grandfather, who immigrated to Argentina more than sixty years ago. The

Emilio Piaggio line is handcrafted with the finest materials. The pneumatic corkscrew, in

particular, is made of incense wood, stainless steel and bronze, under strict quality

control norms. The wood grain on the instrument body follows the one on the head.
