Description of the route
Start from the locality called Rosa (Donnas) and follow the entire vineyard path up to the Mission Cross. While walking, you can enjoy the view of the topie (pergolas) that support the vines and expoe them to the sun’s rays that enhance the scents and colors they offer.
The walk, about half an hour long, is mainly flat and sunny; along the way you can meet the barmet, which are cellars created under a large boulder. In this room, purely underground, in a tank collects rainwater, which is useful to the vigneron (winegrower) for his work. One of the common features is that the temperature is always stable and particularly suitable for storing wine.
