Marche Tours - page 3

The southern Marches have a great vocation for red wines: pity have always been underestimated, close between Abruzzo and the white of the northern Marche, and conditioned by a great difficulty of those who produce to make a group. Which is then the eternal problem of Italy! For this reason the company has enriched its wine production of two brands dedicated to the Veneto and Sicily regions: Costa Farnel, Prosecco and Spumante wines from the Valdobbiadene-Conegliano and Colli Euganei area, and Le Ciache, a white wine line , red and liqueur made from the native Sicilian vines. Fruit of the experience of Riccardo Reina in the production of bitter and digestive fused to the Ascoli tradition of products based on anise, are the three fine wines, obtained from Montepulciano, Pecorino and Passerina flavored with aromatic herbs, china and anise.

Hidden between the walls of an ancient cave, there is a place that seems to come out of a fantasy story. It is the Tempietto del Valadier, a neoclassical church built by Pope Leo XII in the heart of the Regional Natural Park of the Gola della Rossa and Frasassi. We will visit a huge system of cavities and ravines that is part of the complex of caves of the Parco Gola della Rossa - Frasassi. The inscription reads Refugium Peccatorum: the place has in fact given refuge to believers fleeing from the world or perhaps from themselves for centuries. Not far from the Valadier temple is another sacred building that shares the walls with the mountain and is precariously perched outside the cave. This is the Madonna Infra Saxa, a hermitage dating back to 1029 where Benedictine nuns lived in seclusion. At the end of the tour we will also visit San Vittore delle Chiuse, one of the four most beautiful Romanesque abbeys of the year 1000 in the Marche region.

Tenuta la Viola is a family-run business located in the fantastic location of Bertinoro, between Forlì and Cesena and close to the Adriatic Sea. We believe that to obtain important and pleasant wines it takes long years of work and waiting. Years during which the professionalism and history of the people who work there contribute in a determined and unique way to the quality and character of the wines obtained. This is why we decided to believe in and make the most of our land through the use of indigenous vines suited to the area, such as Sangiovese and Albana.

One of the most suggestive places of all the Sibillini Mountains, the Infernaccio gorges are natural gorges carved by the Tenna river between Monte Priora and Monte Sibilla. A beautiful path in contact with nature, between waterfalls, trees and gorges, up to the Hermitage of San Leonardo.

The panorama is truly breathtaking: the sea, the sand, the rocks of the Two Sisters broken by the waters and from a distance you can see the Grotta del Mortarolo. Continue walking on the beach to the Church of Santa Maria and then return again inland along another lake: the Deep Lake.
