Our Italian wine adventure...
In 2015, we visited Italy for the first time. In spring, we went to Rome for a long weekend. It turned out to be a fantastic short break. Beautiful weather, delicious food and wine and actually too much to see to take in a few days.
In the same summer, we went to Tuscany with our best friends. We stayed at a campsite near Pistoia, a good starting point for sightseeing, including visits to Florence, Lucca, Pisa, Siena and San Gimignano.
During this wonderful summer holiday, it turned out afterwards that we also experienced our first wine tasting in Italy. On our way back from a day trip with many beautiful attractions and sightseeings, we had stopped in Vinci to taste the wines of Cantina Leonardo da Vinci.
It was the beginning of our remarkable wine adventure. Since then, apart from several visits to Tuscany (including Arezzo, Florence, Montepulciano, Siena, San Gimignano), we have been on many other holidays to Italy. To Lazio (including Tarquinia, Lazio), Umbria (including Montefalco), Sardinia (including Alghero), Piedmont (Alba, Barolo, Roero...), Veneto (including. Valpolicella, Soave and the Prosecco-Cartizze wine region), Trentino-Alto Adige/South Tyrol, Lombardia (including Franciacorta), Liguria (including Genoa, Cinque Terre) and Emilia-Romagna.
From cycling among the vineyards in the Franciacorta (Italian champagne - sparkling wine) wine region to a memorable picnic in Arnaldo Caprai's vineyards in Montefalco. And from dining In Lazio with a closing rosé on the rooftop at Etruscaia to enjoy a beautiful sunset over the sea to views from Stefano Accordini's highest winery in Valpolicella. Not to forget our delicious lunch and tasting of sparkling Prosecco bubbles in the almost magical- fairy-tale heart of Valdobbiadene-Conegliano where the Cartizze is located.
The numerous highlights are actually beyond imagination. Moments of happiness that we thoroughly enjoy together or with our friends and families. The more often we have visited Italy, the more excited we become about our next journey. There is still so much to discover.
We have an idea to learn so much more about Chianti wines next time in both the Chianti wine region and the many other Tuscan wine regions where the Sangiovese grape produces a delicious Chianti. And we'll probably stop in Verone, the Valpoliccela, Soave and the Prosecco area along the way.
Anyway, some more puzzling for the time being. Lovely to do 😀
