 THE PROSECCO AND CONEGLIANO-VALDOBBIADENE HILLS WINE ROAD

Marca Trevigiana (the area corresponding to the Province of Treviso) owns its exceptional development to the efforts and constant interaction with the and its natural resources. This is the background of our wine- making vocation, matched by one of the most ancient routes – previously called ‘ Route’, it has now been redesigned into the ‘Prosecco and Colli Conegliano Valdobbiadene Wine Road’. The new route, created in 2003, is the direct heir to what was Italy’s first oenological route. Large stretches of the original route have been repeated, joined by themed itineraries able to enhance the entire district, featuring ripe and a rich historical and artistic heritage still to be discovered.

22 FARRA DI SOLIGO A NAME FROM A DISTANT PAST

The origin of this name, as is the case with many other towns in the area, is Lombard. The faras were the kin groups sharing a common lineage, constituting the social organization of the people. According to the history books, in 569, Alboino having lead his troops in the strenuous crossing of the Alps, chose one of these places to rest before descending onto the plains. Constitued the fara, he continued his march towards Treviso. Lombard settlements were established one after another for two centuries until the Franks came. For years, the Lombards defended the land fiercely, then they were converted to . With the aid of the Cistercian and Benedictine monks from the small local monasteries, they learnt how to till the land and turned from being warriors into farmers. 23 Main itinerary, leg C FROM VALDOBBIADENE TO CAMPEA
