A new route across the Bolognese hills to discover the long journey once made by the Brentatori. About 50 km, from Piazza Maggiore in Bologna to the Rocca in Bazzano, surrounded by stunning nature and numerous historical-artistic sites to admire and rediscover throughout the hike.
About the trail: The ancient Via dei Brentatori dates back to the 13th century and was created so that the Brentatori workers could safely transport wine, which they carried on their backs in containers known as “Brente”. In the summer of 2024, the route was reopened with an expanded trail, connecting the past and present of this historical guild.
