Things I saw Round 2…KYakich

There is so much to see in Italy that it is impossible to capture all of it. A picture does not do anything justice because the creations I was able to see with my naked eye and the small details that come along with all of the different pieces of artwork, are not the same in just a picture.  Both top pictures are from the winery.  Here we learned about the Chianti wine and the history behind it.  Wine culturally is something that is very important to Italians, and how the wine is made.  For this specific winery, harvesting had to be done by hand.  In 1842 the family turned the old dungeons into the cellar where the wine is held in barrels.  They do all of the harvesting and hand picking in 25 days!  One of the main things that I found interesting was that our taste buds can change constantly as to what we prefer and do not prefer, meaning that in some point in our lives we may like a sweeter wine, but years later we could prefer a dryer wine.
