Home for the past week

This is the view from our room in the vineyards of la Morra. The village of la morra is perched on the hill in the distance about 300 meters away. A nice short walk.

Marlow picked a small bunch of grapes from the vine for our breakfast. They were hanging from the vine just outside our room. Last night, after we arrived at about 8:30 pm, we had a dinner including a shaving of a huge white truffle over a plain tagliatelle noodle. It arrived at the table on a scale and they weigh it before and after the shaving. The entire room was filled with the truffle scent. We had a couple of (half) bottles of wine made from the grapes grown in these hills.

Last year when we visited these same hills the vines were full of fruit hanging below. This year we are one week later and the weather has been cooler so the barbaresco grapes have been picked. But the Nebbiolo vines are being harvested this week.

Ciao ! Andiamo!
