Cinque Terre, a strip of land where steep hills overlooking the sea make wine grapes cultivation a tough task. For centuries viticulturists have been taking care of their beloved vinyards and over time they earned the nickname of “heroic” wine makers.
The magnificent quality of wines in Liguria has not been attained so easily: narrow valleys, steep hills and mountains overlooking the sea have always been a great obstacle for wine makers. However, despite difficulties, a great passion for viticulture has allowed producers to create excellent wines.
A route of about 80 km, between hills scattered with vineyards, villas, medieval villages, centuries-old abbeys and parks, Franciacorta stretches from Brescia to lake Iseo, became especially famous for artist Christo’s artwork “The Floating Piers” in 2016.
Valcalepio, the hilly belt area in Bergamo province including 9 municipalities in Bergamo, certainly plays a key role in Lombardy wine production.
A marvelous sweet wine, the littlest DOCG in Italy. Moscato di Scanzo represents a tidbit in Scanzorosciate, Bergamo, about 1 hour away from Milan. This lovely town is surrounded by magical hills that give us the chance to grow beautiful grapes and allow us to taste one of the best Italian wines you can ever savor in our land.
Brescian cuisine has its roots in the countryside: nowadays we can taste traditional dishes coming from the peasants’ habits and creativity. In fact, they’ve been able to turn humble products into rich and fine specialties now offered in restaurants.
