Castello del Trebbio in the heart of Tuscany

was built in 1184  by the Pazzi family.  It  is surrounded by olive groves and vineyards and is one of the longest inhabited castles.IMG_1301

                                      It is here when I knew I was in love with

       ITALY

We learned that “Chianti” is the name of the region, not the wine.

At the Castello del Trebbio, they use 100% Sangiovese grapes.

We were treated to a couple different wines as well as a taste of their  Virgin olive oil pressed right there. 

 

This area is all that I had dreamed and hoped it would be….

The best way for people to acquire information is from personal experience. The pictures just keep you from denying; discussions with your sister over who gets Rich's glass of wine....loosing the rental car keys.... and contesting having to pay in pisa to pee..... ;)

The adventure continues...
