I Colori d'Attuno...The Colors of Autumn



Artists say there’s something special about the quality of light in Tuscany.  If you’ve been here, you know that already.  If you haven’t, the photos below can only begin to give you a sense of what it’s like.  The colors of Autumn are different from back home...more muted.  Here’s what we mean.

Brunello vinyard in Montalcino
















Sangiovese plants turning color
















Old Wall in Monticchiello

Vineyard and Olive Orchard
























Sangiovese grapes that will never become Brunello

  1. Now that we're back in Seattle, I've caught up with the blog entries we missed while enjoying your wonderful hospitality in Pienza and thereabouts. What a wonderful adventure you are having - and thanks so much for sharing part it with us in real time, and the rest in your wonderful narratives and photos.
