Museo della Vite e del Vino del Centro per la Cultura del Vino 'I Lecci' ['I Lecci' Wine Culture Centre Museum of Grapes and Wine]

The Museum illustrates the various stages of producing wine: from harvesting the grapes, to vinification, to bottling. Enhanced by multimedia posts demonstrating the importance of this tradition for the local territory, the display consists of implements used in work and a series of photographs. Another part of the Museum is dedicated to a "laboratory of the senses",where visitors can taste wine while also perceiving its bouquet. The Centro per la Cultura del Vino "I Lecci" is made up of the Museum, a conference centre and a wine-cellar.
