"Morainic Amphitheatre: Where Geology Meets Local Lore"
Guiddy Difficulty Levels
Description
A sensory immersion where history blends with the taste of wine.
Join us for a slow-paced getaway, a true dive into the heart of Custoza, right in the most fascinating time of the year: the grape harvest. Let yourself be enveloped by the intoxicating aromas of the must and walk among the lush rows of vines, discovering the profound connection between the land, history, and a unique wine.
This is not just a simple trek, but an experience designed to awaken all your senses. We will cross enchanting landscapes, where the sweetness of the morainic hills meets the geometric precision of the vineyards. Along the way, we will tell you about the geology of this natural amphitheater, a thousand-year-old story made of glaciers and moraines, which has shaped the soil making it ideal for viticulture.
But the land is not the only protagonist. We will reveal the secrets of the grape harvest, from traditional techniques to curiosities related to the Custoza DOC. And there will be a touch of magic and folklore: we will introduce you to the legend of the "Vecia Marcolina" and the fascinating story of the traditional tragicomic show of the "Sego de la Vecia", an ancient ritual that evokes the magic of these places.
The Experience includes a final toast at the Enoteca Proloco of Custoza!
