The mild weather made flowers blossom earlier, this year, in Italy. And in Friuli Venezia Giulia too, so visitors will really be delighted to attend the annual, traditional event “Rosazzo da Rosa” at the Abbey of Rosazzo, near Manzano (Udine), on May 6 and 7. All around the historical building and lining its walls, multiple varieties of roses grow and their beautiful colours are scattered throughout the park: every year, the ancient Abbazia di Rosazzo celebrates their bloom with a special event open to everyone, with many flower sellers taking part with their booths full of marvellous specimens.
Of course, it's also a unique chance to enjoy a guided tour and explore the Abbey and its long history. The Abbey of Rosazzo is also surrounded by vineyards as far as the eye can see, and actually renowned Friulian winemakers Livio Felluga are in charge of Abbazia di Rosazzo's own vineyards, with whose grapes they make the eponymous white wine “Abbazia di Rosazzo”, a Friulano grape-based blend with a touch of Sauvignon, Pinot bianco, Malvasia and Ribolla gialla. So it'll be a good chance for wine lovers, too, to learn more about the centuries-long winemaking tradition of the Abbey.
