Frescobaldi Vineyards

One of the classes I'm taking while here in Italy is Wine culture. I know, its rough. Our teacher Diletta, is a member of the Frescobaldi family who has been producing wine in Italy for the past 700 years. They own a couple estates in the Tuscany area, and our class had the opportunity to visit two of those last week. We had a tour of the land and the production areas, and ended with a wine tasting of 3 of their best wines, along with cheese, bread, and their olive oil. Such an experience!
