The Toirano Caves, among the most fascinating natural wonders of Liguria, offer a truly unique experience: a journey into the soul of the earth, where beauty and mystery intertwine.

But there’s a curious detail that makes them even more special: the “Bollicine in Grotta” wine project, an aging method that uses the caves’ natural conditions to create a surprising product.

Toirano: a village steeped in history and authenticity
