La Fiera Artwork
The origins of the
carousel come from medieval riding fairs in the north of Italy. These
elaborate “equestrian ballets” took place in royal courts and featured
lavishly decorated horses and highly skilled riders performing
synchronzed formations. Popularity lead builders to replicate them by
designing rotating platforms with mounted wooden horses for children to
ride. The carousel has been the centerpiece of La Fiera, The Fair, for
centuries.
Veneto Wine Region
Venice’s region is Italy’s
leader in the production and commerce of classified wine. Throughout the
region the recent emphasis is on white wines and is ideally suited for
the Pinot Grigio grape, where the particular composition of the hilly
soil, the exposition to sun, the frequent rains and the constantly mild
temperature between April and October combine to provide the best
conditions.
La Fiera Pinot Grigio is a delightfully fresh and crisp wine. It is both floral and fruity, expressing ripe peach and apple flavors with a subtle mineral finish, perfect to drink as an aperitif or with salads, grilled chicken and seafood.
Abruzzo Wine Region
Heading due east from Rome
lays the region of Abruzzo. Montepulciano d’Abruzzo was designated as a
DOC in 1968. It covers most of Abruzzo ranging from Molise in the south,
the Marche in the north and inland against the Apennines Mountains. The
wines are at least 85% Montepulciano (with Sangiovese permitted). In
parts of the Abruzzi, most notably in the low hills of the northern
province of Teramo, Montepulciano becomes a red of irresistible
character — full-bodied, even robust, with a capacity to age but with
such supple smoothness that it can be eminently drinkable even when
young.
