The Wine Trail traverses fascinating localities: nature itineraries, rows of century-old vineyards that sorround beautiful XIXth villas and fortified villages. It connects the land's wineries is the ideal way to get to know more about it.

Back in medieval times, hamlets in Lombardy were connected to various castles. Some of them are in ruins, although others are open to the public, such as the Fortress of Zavattarello, which hosts contemporary art collections.
