WINE TASTING
Grape Harvesting
“Sugary, sticky hands —
This is harvest,
You’re in it now.”
Olive Harvesting
Trees older than the country you were born in.
You harvest them, You press them.
You bring a bottle home.
Seasons That Stop You Cold
Poppy Fields
As if a Renaissance painter spilled a can of paint across the countryside — red, wild, uncontained…
and for a moment, it takes your breath way.
Sunflower Season
All turned towards the sun. Every single one of them, all at once —
facing the same direction, as if they decided together. An entire landscape.
In high summer, the Tuscan countryside erupts in fields of sunflowers so vast
and so golden they stop you cold.
You pull over.
You have to.
The scale of it does something to you —
something quiet and overwhelming at the same time.
This is not a garden.
This is the Italian countryside doing what it does best — reminding you, without a single word,
that you are somewhere completely extraordinary.
