I’m always looking for information on Tuscany’s outback, the Lunigiana. Today I found an interesting blog post called “Old School.”
Going back to my roots, yeah…”, as the song goes. Well, here’s some Via Vecchia roots for you. This is where Via Vecchia Winery derives its inspiration and process from; from the heart of the Lunigiana in Toscana, Italy. Village of Grondola in the Appenines to be precise. ~ We Stomp
The Village of Grondola I had to look up. Turns out I’ve probably been through it. It’s just north of Pontremoli.
Via Vecchia happens to be a winery. In Ohio. If there’s one thing that links the Lunigiana to Ohio, it might be the wine. The Lunigiana isn’t known for it. I probably don’t have to remind you that Ohio isn’t either.
In any case, there’s some good pictures of a wine operation tucked away in a cantina below a house in the post linked above. My neighbor does this exact same thing right below my house in Piano di Collecchia.
It’s what I like about the Lunigiana. People do things the vecchia way. It’s nice to see. And smell.
