Castello Bamfi is a little winery nestled into the Tuscan countryside. It is surrounded by rolling hills and you have to take a very winding dirt road in order to get there. The tasting buildings and offices are located inside an old castle, which really adds to the atmosphere. The views were beautiful.
The wine tasting took place inside the castle, and we got to taste 3 different kinds of wine, all of them rosso, or reds. This winery particularly focuses on red wine. All of the wines we tasted were very good, but they gave us very generous helpings, good thing these little breadsticks were here!
After we finished with the wine tasting and had taken a little look around the shop we headed down the hill to the facilities to go on a tour. It was crazy how much wine they make! It was also a good reminder for how complicated the wine making process truly is.
While at the winery I also found myself a good old friend....
After we had finished our tour we (most unwillingly) got back on the bus and headed to Montalcino, which is a little Medieval village. We had lunch there, which was DELICIOUS! They make all their noodles there from scratch and you could definitely taste the difference. After lunch we walked around the village for an hour and checked out the main castle before heading out!
