Castello Selvole, a Dream Came True with the Beginning of the Winery

Castello di Selvole Winery is surrounded by forests, vineyards, and expansive olive groves. There are also stretches of country roads that are protected by the local authorities for their historical value and known for hosting the annual Eroica event, a cycle race in the past.
