In the picture above... A sweet and frizzante dessert wine, and some fragrant amaretti. Notice the cookie I opened, just so you could see how golden and perfect they are? You know I ate it, right? Even if it is technically off my diet. Yesterday we took a drive in the countryside in the hills of Monferrato. It was so beautiful, I was soaking in the scenery while M drove. I kept thinking "Oh, this would make a nice postcard, oh no, this view is better!" I wish I had taken pictures... but of course how could I ask M to stop the car... every hill we went over offered another wonderful view. Imagine beautiful Italian villas surrounded by bountiful vineyards. Picture sweet little hill top towns and impressive castles and churches. This is an area we will be back to visit, hopefully on a sunny blue-sky day.
We stopped in a village called Mombaruzzo and bought some amaretti cookies. Then later after our lunch we bought some wine in a town called Canelli at the Antica Cantina Sociale.
