Mr. You is A Vital Asset... on every one of his Inspection Tours of Il Poggiolo, he happens upon so many things I over-look... in my typical gardening fury. Here is one example... the other one on his latest tour was the dead bird... probably, massacred by a cat!!!... Mr You came across in what will be the Kitchen/Dining Room of La Casa Grande... anyway...
he found our vineyard!!!...
strategically dangling high over our mega-wall of the Cortile. Picking the grapes is going to be an interesting pursuit at Vendemia-Time. But, once done, we will have... at least... a beaker full of our own DOC!!! Cannot wait for that. Can you?
And A Side Note... our dear neighbor... she lives in the house right below our Cortile AND was born in Il Poggiolo... said that her relations, who lived in Il Poggiolo during the Second World War, dismantled the arches and dug-out a space to hide food & provisions from the invading Nazis. However, they put their reserves behind only one of them. They wanted to fool the Nazis. And, it worked too!!! Gads.
