Wednesday afternoon Bruno gave us a tour of the 250 acre villa.
View from the family's house, Montalbano.
The trees to the left demarcate the edge of the villa estate, and also the very edge of the Chianti Classico region, coincidentally. Any wine made after this point cannot legally be called Chianti Classico, and can only be called Sangiovese.
Jackelyn, Bruno and grape vines.
Italy, where every plant is edible. Lavender in the foreground, olive trees, sunflowers on the right, and vineyards back left.
Don't remember the name of this house on the hill. Every house has a name.
View from the patio of one of the houses.
View of the monastery in an adjoining property which hid the Pipernos during WWII.
In lieu of a panoramic camera, here's a short video (now would be a good time to turn the laptop upside down).
