The customary huge Saturday beckoned as we kicked off with a visit to Giovanni at Cantina Cenci – just to the south of Perugia.
Giovanni simply oozes passion and enthusiasm for his five hectares of vines – all the more frustrating that it was raining!
So – into the cellar for a second breakfast of pearl barley stew, salumi, cheese
s, cheese bread and a bucket load of Giovanni’s wines.
Not a man to do things by half this was extreme, early morning tasting!
Then over to see Fe
derico and Jennifer at Terre Margaritelli. 50 hectares of vines all in one plot was a site to behold and the wines they make are superb.
Fine Greccheto, Trebbiano and delicious Torgiano Rosso Riserva DOCG. This estate is relatively small but clearly going places.
We finished our tour at La Taverna – another fabulous meal, and a fitting (if filling) end to a fabulous tour.
