After visiting Siena, we stayed at a small villa, Villa Pagliarese, near Castelnuovo Berardenga (about 20 km from Siena). Villa Pagliarese (photos at Day 7) was surrounded by grape vines and olive trees.

During Day 6 we visited, Montalcino, Montepulciano and Cortona. We returned to our villa that night.

This is me buying a Brunello di Montalcino at a small Enoteca.

 

This is me walking along the perimeter of a fort in Montalcino.

 

A cute couple on a foggy and rainy day.

 

I'm buying Nobile di Montepulcianao, the flagship wine of the town.

 

We ate lunch at a small trattoria. We discovered that Italy has outstanding pecorino. We also had a Brunello flight.

 

This is me walking up a small street in Cortona.

 

This is a building in the main square at Cortona.

 

We're enjoying dinner at Cortonoa. We had the most outstanding pastas here.
