Montepulciano - not just a pretty wine

Next day, we went back to La Foce to do a woodland walk, as we hadn't been in the country for a bit.

Later we had an enjoyable, slightly eccentric - " it is our custom to drink our water and wine from the same glass ... " - and excellent meal in one of the local osterias, and a dander around the night-time streets of Montepulciano.

At La Foce - the eternal cypresses ...
... but also this apple tree growing wild - wonderful crunchy tasty apples
Etruscan escutcheon on wall in Montepulciano (two thousand years old-ish)
Non-Etruscan grumpy lion on the same street
Time to leave - Barbara outside our hotel - it was very old, but very nice inside
