Here is what's in store for you
After the visit to the waterfall you will go up its course, along paths carved into the rock, which will allow you to enjoy a breathtaking view.
On the way there are several panoramic terraces, built at the beginning of the 20th century by the lawyer Maffeo Gheza. One of them, the so called "belvedere moresco" is nowadays at the center of the studies of renowned art critics, according to whom, the panorama you can enjoy from up there, would have inspired Leonardo Da Vinci in the creation of the painting La Gioconda. As a matter of fact from this position the view reaches the Iseo Lake and Corno Trenta Passi, which is believed to be the background of the famous painting.
The visit continues to the vineyards and olive groves the olive grove, to end up in the historical Cellar for the tasting.

A Beautifully Balanced Experience of History, Nature, and Wine
We chose the Da Vinci route, which takes you on a scenic walk around the entire vineyard. There’s something truly special about this place — a unique blend of history, nature, and winemaking, with the added magic of standing where Leonardo da Vinci is said to have conceived the idea of the Mona Lisa.
To also be able to actually taste the grapes directly from the vine is amazing as well.
Be aware though, the trail is quite physical, with some steep climbs, so I’d only recommend it if you’re in good shape and comfortable walking uphill.
The experience ended perfectly with a wine tasting beautifully paired with local cured meats and cheeses. We sampled two red wines and one sparkling, each carefully matched to highlight the region’s character.
If you’re in the area — and up for the walk — this is an absolute must-do.
(Pictures are unfortunately only part of the tour. Much more to see.)
We were very interested in purchasing some wines during the tasting, but were asked to place any orders later by email. While I understand and appreciate that many visitors prefer not having a sales moment at the end — it keeps the experience peaceful and authentic — it would be great to also offer the option to taste and purchase on-site. We were ready to restock our wine cabinet and would have loved the opportunity to select a few bottles right after the tasting.

A walk through history, rediscovered passion and enveloping wines.
The Bignotti - Cultivar delle Volte winery offers a 360° immersion into what was once the residential complex of a local lawyer, who, among other things, had a passion for viticulture, and which today has been taken over by a family passionate about and dedicated to the land and to Camunian products.
It seems like a place out of this world for the blend of nature and man, a small oasis that aims to offer the visitor a complete experience, made even more pleasant by the courtesy and professionalism of Giorgio and his sons.
The wines are relatively young but satisfy the nose and palate, creating new memories.
I would suggest to the owners not to base the tour on Leonardo. That part is interesting, but the story of how they took over the complex and the vineyards is much more so.
