Experience information
The tasting offers a real sensory journey to discover a natural monument: the Bellussera, a cultivation system based on a ray system that grows about 3 meters above the ground, a visit to the Chiesetta del Carmine a la Torre di Rai, and a visit to the winery. The rows embroider the soil like lace, creating a green cathedral. The itinerary includes a walk under the Bellussera and a visit to the winery. The tasting will feature 6 wines produced from the vines grown at Bellussera: Lemoss, wine with the background inspired by ancient peasant gestures; Marzemina Bianca Brut and Manzoni Rosa Extra Dry, bubbles from rare natives; Nina Manzoni Bianco Piave DOC; Iconema Piave DOC; and our Notti di Luna Piena Raboso Malanotte DOCG. The tasting will be accompanied by typical local products (cured meats, cheeses and breadsticks)*.
All guests will be guaranteed a 15% discount on the purchase of a minimum of 6 bottles.
* Please report in the notes any allergies, food intolerances or vegetarian/vegan diets.

Host information
A stone's throw from the river Piave, in the fertile Treviso countryside, in Rai di San Polo di Piave, is the Ca' di Rajo winery (Rajo is the ancient name of Rai). A history of winemakers linked to the territory by a double thread.
The farm is surrounded by 90 hectares of vineyards, an ancient church dating back to 1300 and an ancient tower of the tenth century, the Torre si Rai.
The winery, led by the Cecchetto family, is committed to enhancing the value of the local people and safeguarding the Bellussere, an ancient method of vine cultivation and a unique example of landscape architecture. This form of vine cultivation was developed at the end of the 19th century.
It provides for a large sixth planting where wooden poles of about 4 meters in height are connected by iron wires arranged in rays. Developed mainly in the Veneto, the Bellussera is now in danger of extinction because of its high maintenance costs: from pruning to harvesting, everything is done by hand, on a raised floor.
Among the productions of Ca' di Rajo there are: Prosecco Superiore Millesimato Docg Valdobbiadene in Brut and Extra Dry versions, Prosecco Doc Treviso, Malanotte Docg, Raboso Piave Doc, Manzoni Bianco 6.0.13, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot.
To these are added Marzemina Bianca and Manzoni Rosa (obtained by pollination between Traminer and Trebbiano), very rare autochthonous wines that only Ca' di Rajo makes sparkling wine .
