Discover Tirolo in Bolano

Tirolo is a locality in the municipality of Bolano. Two specific features give the place a distinct character: terraced Vermentino vineyards and a named hiking route that passes through Tirolo. This lets you plan your trip around different interests. Winemaking puts the landscape in the spotlight; the route offers a specific local point of reference for hikers. Tirolo can therefore be explored both through its vineyards and as part of a named route.

Terraces and Vermentino

The vineyard terraces in the locality of Tirolo face south towards the Tyrrhenian Sea. They are planted with around 6,000 Vermentino vines, which began production in 2007. This identifies the layout of the vineyards, their orientation and the grape variety. The approximate figure conveys the scale of the planting, while the start of production provides a time reference. For travellers who want to understand a landscape through its cultivation, Vermentino is a specific point of reference. The terraces' orientation towards the Tyrrhenian Sea also gives the description a geographical context.

Portolano and the Colli di Luni Vermentino DOC

Portolano is also part of Tirolo's connection with wine. The wine is made from 100 percent Vermentino grapes grown in vineyards in Tirolo, in the municipality of Bolano, and carries the Colli di Luni Vermentino DOC classification. The grape variety, origin and classification are thus specified for a particular product. Alongside the terraces, the place's connection with wine can be viewed on two levels: the vineyards describe the landscape, while Portolano is a wine with a specified grape variety and DOC designation. If you are interested in Vermentino, you can understand Tirolo through both its cultivation and a specifically named wine.

A named hiking route through Tirolo

The route “Bivio AVML - Tirolo - Case Solegnana - Case Cavanon - Bagatello” passes through Tirolo in the municipality of Bolano. The place name appears explicitly in the route's name. Its name includes several place names, placing Tirolo within a specific route context. For travellers interested in hiking, this offers a different way to explore the place than winemaking: here, the focus is on Tirolo as part of a named route. You can use the route's exact name as a starting point for further planning.

Travel information

Provincial Road 11 is also useful for practical orientation. In 2025, resurfacing of the road in the locality of Tirolo was planned to restore passability after a landslide. If you plan to use the road to get there, check the latest traffic information before setting off. This will help you account for the specific road in your preparations and plan your journey using current information.

This gives you two different ways to explore the place: the terraces link Tirolo with winemaking and the landscape, while the route includes the place in the name of a hiking trail. If you want to focus on winemaking, the terraces and Portolano offer specific points of reference; if you are interested in hiking, the named route is a natural starting point for further planning.
