Back on the bus for a ride through the Tuscan countryside traveling from Livorno to Lucca. We rode past wheat fields, silvery olive groves & vineyards. The old & new walled city of Lucca has classic Italian narrow streets, where bicyclists & small cars compete with grocery shoppers & tourists for the right of way.
If we don’t return to our own Texas winery, you might look for us in the district of Monte Carlo, where the Michi estate gave us a tour of their production area at a striking location above gently sloping vineyards.
The wine: Although we tasted several, the Fattoria Michi 2007 Vecchie Vigne ‘Toscana’ was a favorite, a white blend described as “reserve”, lightly oaked & lovely on a warm Tuscan afternoon.
