Day 29 June 20, 2023 (Montepulciano)
Today was an easy day, we walked all over, went into different little shops, and then had a glass of wine in one of the little wine shops before we had lunch. Here, the restaurants don’t start serving lunch until at least noon, so we had to fill the time with something, so why not wine? 😊
Lunch was a salad, ravioli of the day (burrata cheese) and a codfish and potato puree concoction with truffle chips (OMG!) Let’s just say, delicious!!!!! We had desert and a café (double chocolate sphere of cake with pistachio and orange sauce), again, yummers!
Back to the room for a bit so I could work on the blog and then back out for our wine tasting at De’Ricci. We toured their cellar, and our guide was excellent. Parts of the cellars date back to 500 B.C.!!!!! We got history on the De ’Ricci’s (who have since died out, but the owners kept the name out of respect) and background on the present owner. We ended in their tasting room where we tasted six different wines and had some nibbles. It was about 6:30 when we finished so we found a place to eat dinner and enjoy the rest of the evening. I had chicken with balsamic and John had steak and we shared some roasted veggies. We skipped desert and came home and had a piece of chocolate and a limonchino (me) and a grappa (John).
We have not decided what we will do for our last day tomorrow; it will be a surprise, lol!
Miles walked – 4.67 Ciao!
