With simplicity and poetry

For the 150th anniversary, Vicentine writer Mario Rigoni Stern dedicated a new story to the distillery.

It is entitled “Due storie quasi una allegoria (Two stories almost an allegory)”: a story set in the Asiago Plateau during the Great War, when a bottle of Grappa was one of the few comforts the soldiers could count on during the long, cold days spent in the trenches.

This piece by Rigoni Stern confirms the characteristic simplicity and poetry of his writing; words about the experience of the war and love for the simple things from one’s own land, very much in keeping with the philosophy of the Brunello distillery.
