Wine Tasting at Twenty

On Saturday, I took an awesome trip wine tasting about an hour outside of Rome. There was a breathtaking view of the vineyard and surrounding area, and I learned a lot more about wine. I even liked some of the red wine I drank, which I'm usually not a fan of - Pinot Noir is great. I still like all white wine, of course, and have learned that I am partial to white wine from oak barrels. 

Our Guide to the Wine Tasting.
We were given wine that was still fermenting!

Where the wine is bottled.

Each one of these will make 13, 000 bottles of wine.
The vineyard located near a volcanic area with nutrient rich soil.

The Grechetto grape used to make the
winery's award-winning Poggio della Costa
white wine.

Oak Barrels of wine. Each makes about 6,000
bottles
