About the trail
Canelli unfolds over 10 km of historic streets, underground cellars and hills: a short distance, but with a genuine climb to Torre Contini.
What to look out for
From the Belbo, the route reaches Palazzo Scarazzini, Palazzo Cornaro and San Tommaso. The cobbled Sternia climbs to San Rocco and San Leonardo, passing Castello Gancia, viewed from outside. Madonna della Neve and Sant’Antonio precede Torre Contini. After Bric Roma, the descent reaches the Coppo, Contratto and Bosca cellars, with visits to arrange separately.
