From our house to Montefalco took less than one hour by car to a very famous private winery and olive oil maker Romanelli, Umbria. The owner took us on a tour around the vineyard and olive grove and explained how they made different kinds of wine, and only extra virgin olive oil. After that we had a light lunch and 5 different kinds of wine to taste, everyone agreed the #4 wine was the best. It is called Sagrantino, from the very best grape and is an expensive wine, it costs 25 to 30 euro a bottle in Italy. We bought a dozen different bottles of wine to ship home to share.
Olive oil tasting is difficult to appreciate the different quality, but pure extra virgin olive oil always is the best.
My son in law said that we should have wine for every meal, since we are in wine country. It makes sense indeed. (8/20/2018)
