This day’s road trip took us through the windy countryside of Montelcino to a beautiful castle and vineyard which covers about seven thousand acres. It’s still owned by an Italian family but they manage it from New York, the Marino family. Perfectly manicured and wonderful views, and there’s also a glass museum there which we went through and then to the wine tasting rooms.
The entire grounds were perfectly manicured and the feeling of peacefulness could be felt.
Inside the wine tasting room was just as beautiful as the grounds outside.

An unusual and interesting find on the property when they were doing some excavating...
In 2007 a whale skeleton was found on the property and after finally receiving the required permission to do the excavating they began working on it just two years ago. It is in a separate building and it's open to the public to stop in and look at what they're doing, they have quite a few people working on it.
