Uccellaccio: Discover Wine, Trails and Culture

Uccellaccio amid wine and landscapes

Uccellaccio focuses on wine, landscapes, and trails that make the area interesting for a wide variety of travel plans. Cascina Bongiovanni provides a specific connection: the winery in Uccellaccio follows The Green Experience protocol for sustainable winegrowing and pays particular attention to landscape conservation. A winery visit can be requested via an online form; the company will then confirm whether it can go ahead. This makes it possible to combine a stay with a potential insight into wine production.

The local wine culture also has a historical connection. The Infernot of Terre del Barolo houses a historic wine collection spanning from the first harvest in 1958 to the present day. This timeline appeals to travellers who want to consider wine not only as a pleasure, but also in terms of its development over several decades.
