Enjoy life, admire the beauty of the nature. Take a moment for yourself, breathe pure air. Live with lightness, without there being a precise reason.
What does asolare mean?
We have learned that all this has a very specific name and that there is a place where you can do it to the fullest. We are talking about Asolo, in the province of Trieste, and del asolare verb, inspired by the poet Robert Browning. His last collection of poems is called his own Asolando and tells the city through this state of mind: the happiness to lose oneself in one's thoughts, walking around and enjoying wonderful landscapes.
Browning is not the only one who was attracted to Asolo in this way. Among the many artists to have chosen it as a refuge where to find peace is beauty there are Eleonora Duse, Catherine Deneuve, Pietro Brembo, Freya Stark, Maria Callas, Marcello Mastroianni. The list continues and still today the city of Asolo attracts visitors from all over the world.
Also Giosuè Carducci he spoke of it in his works, defining it the city of a hundred horizons. It seems that he never visited the city and that he had lived through the letters of his friends, each of whom told him about a different angle.
Asolo is just like that: i alleys, the arcades, the ancient shops, which still carry on the ancient tradition silk roads, the views through which you can look at incredible views, from the surrounding hills to the Monte Grappa massif, visible from the Castle of Caterina Cornaro, Queen of Cyprus and Lady of Asolo since 1489.
A thousand horizons of history millennial e landscapes, asolando. But this is not the only way to enjoy it. The area of Asolo is also special for another thing: the Prosecco.
The rediscovered vineyard
Obviously, the easiest way to find out what it means to go to is to go to Asolo and we have been there for a very special occasion, which has to do with Prosecco.
The reason for our trip is linked to the recovery of an abandoned vineyard at the foot of the sixteenth-century Villa De Mattia, the only one a few steps from the historical center and already present in the Napoleonic maps.
The Rediscovered Vineyard will be reborn in the coming years thanks to the project of Montelvini, a winery that has been operating in the heart of the area for 135 years Asolo Prosecco DOCG. This is also sunny: loving, enhancing and taking care of a unique territory, where grapes, breathtaking landscapes and history meet.
After studying the plants and clearing the area, the vineyard is ready to resurrect. Together with the brothers Sarah and Alberto Serena, at the head of the company and of this project, we too we planted our rooted vine. Now all that remains is to wait for 2021 for the first harvest and, meanwhile, try to rub in just about anywhere. With Prosecco it succeeds very well, I assure you.
