Cantina Gattavecchi Grotte del 1200 We stumbled into this this wonderful gem to get away from the cold. Located at the back of and underneath a 13th century church, the church of Santa Maria dei Servi, this winery is family owned and world famous. One of the family members was there to greet us and offer free wine tasting as well as bread and olive oil from the local vineyards and groves. We each got two bottles of wine to take home (from 7 euros) and I got a liter of olive oil. Fantastic! We later opened one of my bottles to help celebrate my 25th birthday. She was such a delightful person, and was so proud of her product that she let us downstairs to show us the wine barrels and point out the olive press that had been in her family for generations. I have posted a picture of her and my mom. With out bits of Italian and Kevin's conversational Spanish, we were able to carry on a pretty lengthy conversation.

I think that speaks for itself. I could take in the view of Tuscany for hours, but because it was so chilly, we enjoyed it for shorter bursts. :)

The building shown here is on many of the bottles of wine from Montepulciano. We took it from yet another winery, but it wasn't doing tasting at the time.
