(Day 10)
All our visits of Thursday was back in Barolo. It was already our 5th day in Piemonte, and 10 day since we came to Europe.

It’s a beautiful estate. They own 3 crus…Gavarini Chiniera (sandy soil), Ginestra Casa Mate (clay + limestone), and Runcot (30-year-old vines, only for riserva).

We did a tour of the winery first. They were just racking the wine from maceration and taking Nebbiolo grape leftovers from a big tank. It smelled nice.
