Wine lovers are at the right spot in Ticino: the vines visibly thrive on the sunny hills - over 80 percent of them bear Merlot grapes.
From the rich harvest a fruity red wine, a light rosé and the coveted speciality "Bianco di Merlot" are pressed.
Lose yourself among the sweet hills and aromas of their vineyards in the Italian part of Switzerland. The wine-cellars are full of labels of excellent quality.
Or why not time your visit to coincide with the joys of one of the wine-related events such as ‘Cantine Aperte’ (Open cellars) or the harvesting festival ‘Sagra del Borgo’, where you’ll discover plenty of new wines.
