Dear friends and wine lovers, most of you have visited me here in San Gimignano, in my winery, and tasted the wine my family has produced for 13 generations. These lands are famous for many wines - Brunello di Montalcino, Vernaccia di San Gimignano and, of course, Chianti.
Italy, and Tuscany especially, is a land where the grapes grow well and the wine turns out fine - but we're not the only ones who make it.
On the road in America
A visit to Jarvis Estate
During my Wine Class tour in America, I visited my great friend William Jarvis of Jarvis Estate, and had the chance to see a great estate with amazing wines. We had dinner together and tasted some wonderful bottles.
It was a great experience to visit such a famous and well-chosen wine selection. Jarvis Estate is in Napa, California - lands that are just as famous for the wine they produce. While I was there, I also visited another great and famous estate: Mondavi Winery.
More California wineries
Viansa, and toasting with colleagues
After that great Californian winery, I decided to visit one more important one: Viansa. It was a pleasure to talk with colleagues who do the same work, try their different wines, and share my Super Tuscan with them.
I came home to my winery even more in love with my job, full of energy and new ideas for the new year.
