Basso Experiences from Bassano del Grappa

Bassano del Grappa has been beautifully shaped through many years of history. The historic centre, with its vibrant energy featuring the iconic Ponte Vecchio, designed by Andrea Palladio, as the symbol of our city. It is surrounded by many restaurants, trattorias and bars which allow the locals to live a social lifestyle in a very typical Italian fashion. Bassano is not only where we create our bikes, but a city surrounded by limitless amounts of culture and nature. The Brenta River runs directly through the centre of our city and provides a picturesque view from the Ponte while enjoying a Mezzoemezzo Nardini. Neighbouring cities include Asolo, Marostica, Nove, Valdobbiadene – each famous for their own specific arts and crafts.

Traditional Local Food & Drink

Asparagus – Being tempted by the gastronomic excellence of the area is a must for anyone coming to Bassano. The White Asparagus of Bassano D.O.P, its color and characteristic bitter-sweet taste, make it a flagship product of Bassano cuisine.

Baccalà and polenta – One of the typical dishes based on stockfish (obtained from the processing of dried cod). The recipe is handed down from generation to generation and almost every family uses one or more small variations.

Grappa – Nardini Acquavite has been produced and bottled in Bassano del Grappa since 1779. It is undoubtedly the oldest and most traditional Italian distillery founded in the premises of “l’Osteria sul ponte” at the entrance to the famous Bassano bridge over the Brenta river.

Prosecco – It’s long been the aperitivo of choice for Italians up and down the peninsula but It was back in 2009 when the Prosecco DOCG was officially recognized by the Italian government’s agricultural ministry and the National Committee for Italian. With the creation of the new designation the production area for top Prosecco was limited to the provinces of Valdobbiadene, Conegliano and Asolo. To add the “guaranteed” to the labeling, the grapes used to make the wine must be grown in one of those townships.
