By Paolo Colombo A house-museum dedicated to one of the most prominent poets of the second half of the twentieth century. But more than this, it’s a house which expresses a strong sense of place and vivid memories. These ideas were dear to Andrea Zanzotto, the great poet from the village of Soligo (1921-2011) whose […]

By Paolo Colombo It’s often said that a little bit of the soul of a place is hidden in the origins of its name. In the case of this tiny hamlet of just a handful of stone houses, perched at 400 metres above sea level on Monte Doc, this seems to be particularly true. The […]

After a rather dry and fine year with a mild summer in which the plants were not subjected to hydric stress or excessive heat, field studies carried out by Consorzio-appointed technicians suggest that, despite the difficulties faced in 2020, nature has followed […]
Heroism comes in many forms. The best-known definition when speaking about the tradition of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene hills refers to the challenging cultivation of vineyards perched on slopes whose gradient sometimes exceeds 30%. Working such hillsides is so arduous that it can rightly be defined as ‘heroic viticulture’. But there is another type of heroism […]

In the Conegliano Valdobbiadene hills pan e sopressa is more than a snack, it’s a throw-back to a simpler time.

Once upon a time there was a young Czech artist and illustrator with an exuberant and tumultuous soul.

If Prosecco Superiore has become a model to be emulated in the winemaking world, then surely much of the credit must go to the close ties this wine has with its territory. One of the closer and most fruitful of these is that with the world of research and innovation. On July 9th 1876, just […]
