The small town that gave its name to the well-known red wine is located on the south-eastern shore of the Lake. It is situated in the middle of the so-called 'Riviera degli Olivi' a picturesque hilly landscape dominated by vineyards and olive groves. There are plenty of opportunities to sample the famous red wine and the excellent olives in one of the local wine-cellars. The pretty old town with its lakeside promenade offers something for every taste. Particularly after sun-set the small bars and cafes are good places to meet up and watch the hustle and bustle of the lanes and squares. Many shops are open until midnight, a good opportunity for shopping and strolling after an excellent dinner.
