Sirmione Castle, a visit not to be missed in Sirmione on Lake Garda! The Scaligero castle of Sirmione is a fortress of the Scaligera era, the access point to the historic center of Sirmione. It is one of the most complete and best preserved castles in Italy, as well as a rare example of a marine lake fortification. Sirmione is a beautiful town characterized by striking views and unforgettable places. Strolling through the narrow streets, squares and hidden alleys, visiting the Rocca, the caves or the Roman Villa or rather relaxing at the spa, tasting an ice cream or an aperitif, you will spend moments that remain immortalized. The cost of the ticket is 14 euros and includes a visit to the fortress, the caves of Catullus and the Roman Villa.Ca 'del Bosco is a technologically advanced winery with unique systems in the sector. A sinuous wave is what emerges from the hills of Erbusco, a structure harmonized with the natural curves of the landscape and supported by inclined pillars that recall the ends of the rows. Visiting it you can grasp the fermentation process (here it occurs by gravity, exploiting natural gravity), then passing between the steel of the winemaking tanks and the aging areas with exposed walls that show the raw soil of Franciacorta. One of the special guided tours is recommended, on a journey between wine and works of art, which begins as soon as you enter the estate, the bronze Solar Gate by Arnaldo Pomodoro.The Bellavista hill, a fascinating panoramic point that embraces Lake Iseo and the Po Valley, is the site of the Erbusco winery of the same name. The cellar is an articulated structure that integrates at the same time with the surrounding landscape, framing the landscape with a stone arch that characterizes the outdoor space. Built inside the hill with two main galleries covered in terracotta, it respects the territory thanks to the naturalness of its visual impact. The main body in glass and wood, in fact, allows a constant dialogue between inside and outside, while all the service structures of the cellar are totally masked by a luxuriant vegetation. Our advice is to visit it and experience the Bellavista Experience accompanied by a guide.
