Wednesday, October 29. 2014End of Season - Time to Travel
It has been a cool, unusually wet summer but a wonderfully warm October made up for it. Harvest is long over and the tasty Sangiovese grapes have turned into wine, now undergoing the malolactic fermentation, before being transferred into oak barrels of various shapes and sizes. There they will magically transform into one of the most prestigeous and tasty red wines of the world: Brunello di Montalcino.  MONTE AMIATA Our little town Montalcino is winding down. The little Café where I sometimes have breakfast, closed, out of the ordinary, today. I feel it is time to travel, the south of Spain is beckoning. The sweet wines of Málaga and amazing Sherries have to be explored. But before I get to these delicacies there will be some stops in amazing wine regions along the way: classy Barolo, ancient Minervois, bubbly Limoux and sweet Banyuls. It will be an exiting week before I have a weekend on the sea just north of Alicante before decending into Andalucía. |
