The itinerary on Colline Novaresi starts from the town of Maggiora, home of Alessandro Antonelli, and reaches La Pelosa, a panoramic peak from which it is possible to admire a 360° landscape.

The itinerary develops in the Monte Fenera Natural Park, in an area of ​​great geological value given by the presence of the Valsesia supervolcano. Here the volcanic rock, called pink porphyry, gives acidity to the soil which, together with the particular microclimate, determines a unique terroir that gives minerality and freshness to the Boca DOC wine. Along the route, a vineyard cultivated with the traditional system called "quadrotto alla maggiorina" is crossed, a thousand-year-old vine cultivation technique that was optimized by the architect Alessandro Antonelli, who, taking into account the inclination of the land and the weight of the shoots loaded with grapes, defined the right degree of inclination of the support poles. This system has the advantage of protecting the plant from adverse weather conditions, but has the great disadvantage of not being able to use agricultural machinery. However, this has not stopped the enterprising winemakers who are preserving this technique and restoring the ancient soils "eaten" by the woods.

The itinerary partly follows a stage of the Antonellian Itineraries, crosses the Montalbano area, a slope richly cultivated with vines, reaches the monumental Sanctuary of Boca and, through a path immersed in the woods, reaches the Cavallirio watchtower.
