🍾 Prosecco entirely made in Venice? There's only one, grown and prepared in #SantErasmo, the biggest island of the #Lagoon and the garden and vegetable market of Venice for ages!
I've just tasted it at Ristobar Sottobordo, right here downstairs #VeniceRocksRoom and... wow 🤟🔝
An unbelievable plus for #myguests 😍

📌🥬 May traditionally starts Summer events in Venice.
This is a very local one☝️, totally unknown to tourists!
It takes place in the island of #SantErasmo on the second Sunday of May and celebrates the harvest of the Violet Artichoke ("Carciofo Violetto"), a special perennial herbaceous plant that grows only here in the #Lagoon.
You can only eat this Artichoke here in Venice in various ways (raw, garnished, fried), its early bud is called "castraura" and it's much sought after around town in this season. Delicious 😋

🍇🥦 For centuries #SantErasmo served the city of Venice of all the vegetables and fruits it needed. Today you can find products coming from the island in the typical boat markets on the canals or in the central Erbaria market in #Rialto☝️

The artichoke so prized that people sell fakes
For just two weeks each spring, a rare violet artichoke is harvested by hand on Venice's northern islands – and locals go to great lengths to keep it authentic.
