This area of the Pisan Hills is an ideal place for wine lovers, as it lies on "The Wine Route of the Pisan Hills" that makes its way through the high wine-vocation territory.
The route winds across small picturesque villages and magnificent landscapes of Tuscan countryside, encountering many wine cellars where you can enjoy the quiet peace of country life, taste the renowned Chianti and be tempted by many other local specialties, such as the excellent food and olive oil.
We usually use our best grapes to make a small quantity of hand made wine, about 250 liters, just for our personal use and to be given to our friends. As we still have some bottles left from the previous year, we plan to put more effort in the olive oil production to meet the growing demand for olive oil that we are receiving.
That sounds lovely. We'd love to make our own vine, but are not blessed with the right growing conditions. Nevertheless, this year provided us with a crop of grapes in our backyard, for the first time. They are sour though... Have a nice time harvesting and vinifying.
RispondiEliminaHello, Thomas;
RispondiEliminathanks for your comment!
I think that one can recognize the beauty of life in close contact with nature also in overcoming adversities and bad growing conditions, as indeed happens in many other spheres of life.
I’m sure that your grapes will become better and sweeter taking forces from the care and love that you put in growing them.
And, if it doesn’t happens, you can always come here in the years to follow to help us making some good wine :)
