It was a wonderful experience when I was shown the personal wine cellar of the Canterno Family in Italy. The Canterno Fantino family are well known Piemontes winemakers (they earned a Wine Spectator 99 for their 2001 vintage, an incredible wine). We wanted to buy the 2001 from them for our tasting but they would not sell it to us. In the end they opened up a bottle for us all to try. I am am drinking it in the picture on the “Power of Passion” post down the page a little bit. It was so wonderful that before we left the mother gave us a half bottle of the wine. I have referred to this day as the best day of my life. The picture at the top of my blog is a picture of the town Serralunga taken from another winery I visited that day (Rivetto).
On the right are some bottles from something like 1920. They will never be drank but it was so cool to see. I also thought it was cool to see the hams hanging too.
