ITALY #6 TUSCANY #5

Castello di Brolio has been owned by the same family for hundreds of years. It sits atop a hill with one of the best views we witnessed in Tuscany. The large acreage surrounding the castle supports an extensive winery and olive oil operation owned by the family. A tasting room located in the small town near the castle is upscale and well run.

 The castle was originally built around a monastery. The old chapel is small but unique

 This part of the castle is still the actively occupied residence of the Brolio family, and therefore, off limits inside

 On our way back to our villa we stopped at the quaint tiny town of Villa de Sesta, where we continued our wine tasting. JIR
