VIGOLENO, A VILLAGE TO EXPERIENCE SLOWLY
Experience it slowly: cross the imposing walls, scale the castle keep and walk along the crenellated walkway. Stop in the mystical silence of the Romanesque parish church of San Giorgio. Breathe in the green hills of the Stirone valley, where Vin Santo di Vigoleno is created. Make time to taste it, along with the delicious local flavours.
