It appears that even Pliny the Elder praised the wines of the Novara hills in his work "Naturalis Historia" at the time of the Roman Empire. Here, the peculiar climate and land give life to Ghemme DOCG (also as a Reserve wine) and 4 DOC wines: Boca, Fara, Sizzano and, the most recent addition, Novara Hills. Then there's the spumanti and straw wines that some wine producers make with Erbaluce grapes. Visits to the vines and canteens offer pleasant opportunities to discover the rural orators, Gothic churches, parishes, fortresses, castles, towers and medieval hamlets.
