THE ROUTE OF WINE PORTERS

The road of wine porters [brentatori in Italian] winds through the hills near Monteveglio, Monte San Pietro and Zola Predosa. This is an old wine road that has been used since the middle of XIII century to transport grapes, wine and must from the lands of the county to Bologna, sheltered from the raids of the soldiers of Modena. The name of the route comes from the kind of basket (brenta) loaded on the porters’ shoulders to transport wine along the hills. The road is still practicable as the ideal guiding thread to rediscover local wine-growing traditions. https://www.compagnia-arte-brentatori.org/
