Gorgo Al Monticano: Nature Route, Wine and Villa History

Gorgo Al Monticano offers different ways to plan a trip around a range of interests: the GiraMonticano nature trail passes through the town and can be explored on foot or by bike. The Bosco del Corner winery welcomes visitors for winery tours and wine tastings. Historic architecture and the history of the woodland landscape in the Province of Treviso provide additional points of interest. When planning your trip, you can decide whether to focus on a route, a winery visit or the history of the villas.

Explore the GiraMonticano on foot or by bike

The GiraMonticano nature trail passes through Gorgo Al Monticano. It can be explored on foot or by bicycle. For planning your trip, the key difference is how you get around: you can think of the route as either a walk or a bike ride. If your plans include an outdoor activity, you can start with this named trail and then decide whether it suits your day better on foot or by bike. Its focus on nature gives the route its own distinct theme.

A visit and wine tasting at Bosco del Corner

The Bosco del Corner winery in Gorgo Al Monticano welcomes visitors for a tour of the winery and a wine tasting in a dedicated tasting area. The visit therefore combines two specific elements: an insight into the winery and a tasting of its wines in a room set aside for that purpose. If wine is an important part of your trip, this gives you a specific place to visit rather than just a general wine recommendation. Tasting options may change, so check what is currently available before your visit.

Villas offering different historical perspectives

Villa Foscarini Cornaro is a historic residence dating from the 16th century. The complex also includes a barchessa, likewise dating from the 16th century. This means you can explore both the residence and an associated building, with both features belonging to the same historical period. This offers a different way to explore the history of the villas than tracing changes of ownership: the focus here is on the date and the composition of the complex.

At Villa Revedin, the historical perspective instead focuses on families and architectural changes. It was built by the Venetian noble Morosini family. The Foscarini family transferred the villa, together with its associated lands, to the Counts Revedin. They had the main building renovated and expanded, giving it its present-day neoclassical appearance. The villa’s construction by the Morosini family and its later transformation under the Counts Revedin can thus be considered as distinct stages. Its present-day neoclassical appearance is associated with the renovation and expansion.

Bosco di Cavalier and the history of the woodlands

Nature also has a historical dimension here. Bosco di Cavalier, also known as Bosco Paludai, is one of the last remnants of the extensive woodlands that once characterized the eastern part of the Province of Treviso. The area is designated as the SIC-ZPS site IT3240017 and covers nine hectares in Treviso. These descriptions refer to different scales: the historical account concerns the extensive woodlands in the east of the province, while the stated area refers to the specifically designated site. The two names help identify this natural feature: Bosco di Cavalier and Bosco Paludai refer to the same woodland remnant.
