Snow in the home of Brunello, Montalcino
Upon our arrival in Montalcino we were excited
to find a winter wonderland of beautiful snow.
We are told that this is not a regular
occurrence and many winters will be without snow
Whilst difficult for local business and traffic
the scenery was just spectacular
Looking over the
Val D'Orcia. Normally the view is a patchwork of green vineyards, olive groves
and ploughed fields
Looking toward
Pienza and Montepulciano
Yes these are
vineyards.
The snow in the
last week has been very intense.
The beautiful Val
D'Orcia
We expect the snow
to be gone within the week and primavera (spring) to emerge
Ciao e baci a
tutti
Carolyna e
Alan
