Our friends, Dario & Cristina, took us to Carmignano for a private wine tasting yesterday on Wednesday, August 10th. We met up with Carlo & Antonella Vannini and Carlo and Dario were the contractors who did the construction on our well.
It was beautiful Tuscan afternoon for wine in the countryside! Afer the wine tasting, we drove to a small town called Artimino for some gelato! The clock tower in Artimino was damaged during WWII from the Americans trying to free the Italians from german rule. The damage is still evident today... I guess the Italians are in no hurry to fix it!
Next was the feste to celebrate an evening of wine and the stars! The walk up to the top of the hill town was an exercise all in itself, but we felt this was better than waiting for the bus. The walk down was much better, but I can tell you that the views from up there were incredibile!
