Gold Classic is Rigotti’s top reed. Rigotti owes its reputation to the quality of its materials. The reeds from the Var and Cogolin regions of France are among the best in the world.

• They grow beside rivers and streams across a large area that is cultivated year-round.
• After two years of maturation, when they reach a height of 7–8 metres and a diameter of 26–32 cm, they are cut in winter.
• After processing, only the 2–3 metres nearest the base are kept.
• The rest are either burned or used as bamboo.
• The tubes are then cut, and the nodes are removed.
