I was very lucky last week! I got to visit Montefioralle and Panzano-in-Chianti. It was heavenly!
Montefioralle claims to be the ancestral home of the Amerigo Vespucci family. This door marks the supposed home and the coat of arms above it shows the family’s crest.
This was a charming vision. Grandfather is teaching grandson how to take a picture of Bella Italia!
Sangiovese grapes, ready to burst. This is the stuff from which chianti is made!
get back, lauretta!
