The Wine Road "Colli del Trasimeno" has been planned to let the visitor feel immediately in touch with land, its culture and its qualities. Thus the chaos of the city is soon forgotten to be replaced with other values like: genuineness, contact with nature and a desire of knowledge.
The configuration of the hill, the limited expansion of plain but mainly the Trasimeno Lake itself, creates a micro-climate that is perfect for the growing of vineyards and olive groves. The vineyards themselves seem to be respectful towards other fruits, colours and scents which this land has been providing with for ages, as they are located on the edges of a wood, close to an olive grove and in the middle of fields with wheat and sunflowers.
