The Big Bench is an enormous bench with a breathtaking scenic impact. We all feel much smaller sitting up here and that’s exactly the point: we are meant to feel like children again, encouraged to look at our surroundings from a different perspective.
The Big Bench in the Val di Non is yellow, two and a half metres high and is located in the Municipality of Novella. It is just a 10-minute walk away from the square in the village of Romallo - just follow the signs.
This giant bench was commissioned by Silvia Tadiello and Pietro Pancheri from Cantina LasteRosse: it was donated to the community as a symbol of safeguarding all those small concerns that need to be protected. A large bench that symbolises all those products, all those traditions and places situated in a region with a fragile beauty.
The Cantina LasteRosse wine cellar is committed to growing and producing the ancient heroic wine made with Groppello vines and they are accompanied by another 3 family-run wineries engaged in enhancing the value of this particular wine.
That’s why the Big Bench number 132 is also referred to as the Groppello Bench: it is in fact located in a small and rare mountain vineyard whose grapes are used to make Groppello.
