Montefioralle and Greve

Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
Hebrews 9:27-28

As I mentioned in my last post, on Saturday I went wine tasting! We visited a winery in the town of Montefioralle. It is near the better-known Greve in the Chianti region. So, naturally, we tasted several different vintages of Chianti Classico as well as a Vinsanto (a tuscan dessert wine). 
 Behind me is the main part of Montefioralle 

 this is there the primary fermentation takes place 
 after all the fermenting is finished, it is then aged in these oak barrels 

 deep fried pizza dough, a typical food to eat whilst wine tasting and absolutely delicious! 
 Leah and me! 
 vinsanto and a cookie/muffin type dessert 

 following the tasting we visited Montefioralle and I think it might be my most favorite Tuscan town I have visited so far! 










 Then we headed back to Greve to catch the bus to Firenze

It was a beautiful day!
