After admiring the Chiaravalle della Colomba Abbey, founded in 1135 and still inhabited by monks, and its evocative cloister, we move on to Castell'Arquato, a medieval village that holds exciting discoveries and overlooks a spotless landscape, where the gaze wanders over woods, gullies, vineyards and some isolated houses. A third generation organic wine producer who has always observed the best principles of production of organic, biodynamic, natural and vegan wines, awaits us on the slopes of Val D'Arda, characterized by clear soils, rich in marine fossils, which Leonardo da Vinci also spoke of in the Codex Leicester in 1482. The visit to the vineyards and cellar is followed by a tasting of 5 wines accompanied by artisanal cured meats, cheeses, honey, homemade bread, dessert and coffee. The day ends in the hamlet of Vigoleno with a special tasting of Vin Santo, one of the smallest DOC wines in Italy, still produced following ancient techniques handed down orally from father to son.

    After admiring the Chiaravalle della Colomba Abbey, founded in 1135 and still inhabited by monks, and its suggestive cloister, characterized by pointed arches and historiated capitals, our itinerary leads to the medieval hamlet of Castell'Arquato, one of the most beautiful villages in the countryside south of the Po River, hidden in the folds of the hills between the cities of Parma and Piacenza.

A third generation organic wine producer who has always observed the best principles of production of organic, biodynamic, natural and vegan wines, awaits us on the slopes of Val D'Arda, characterized by clear soils, rich in marine fossils, testifying to the waters that covered the valley and lapped the Apennines during the Pliocene.

Walking on the slopes where the vines are grown, we will listen to the sweet moan of the fossil shells breaking under our feet, the same ones Leonardo da Vinci spoke of in the Codex Leicester in 1482. Cold winters and never too hot summers, clear skies and fresh breezes, strong temperature variations between day and night are a blessing for vineyards and winemakers and manage to create a unique microclimate that allows you to respect the balance of nature.
