While we were in Lucca we took a tour of a couple vineyards. This is Tuscany.
Notice all the olive trees to the left and behind the vines.
If you happen to see this wine at your local Walmart, buy it. Delicious.
This next vineyard was very old. They still made wine like they did hundreds of years ago.
They use hickory barrels in Tuscany, so the wine doesn’t have much flavor of oak. The hickory comes from the Black Forest.
