They are 26 nuns from every corner of the planet and they live in one of the most important and impressive cloistered nunneries in Italy. They wake up every morning at 5 a.m. according to the Benedictine motto 'ora et labora' and, after prayers, they tend to the vegetable garden, the lavender field, the orchard, an aloe greenhouse and a vineyard.
The nuns support themselves by producing syrups, essential oils and three different types of skincare products, whose ingredients include honey, which is also made in the convent. But above all, the cloistered nuns of the Cistercian Monastery of Saints Gervasio and Protasio in Vittorio Veneto produce a natural prosecco.
