Hot time… summer in the city!

June 28, 2006 by Divina Cucina

We have been pretty lucky this summer until this week… when it hit the 90’s!

I just finished doing three weeks with an ex-client that came back, rented a villa with his friends.. for 3 weeks.
We had a blast!

We started the week in Panzano, and ate at Vescovino, which has recently been taken over by my friend Mario and his fabulous staff..


Check out this lovely Asparagus and fresh ricotta Timbale


Neither man nor woman live by food alone
this is one of Italy’s best wines, made in Panzano
by Giovanni Manetti of Fontodi

Mario and Giovanni Manetti

who happened to also be dining at Vescovino and was gracious enough to come to out table.

After lunch we went to visit another Giovanni, the local shepard, where we tasted cheese, bought honey and met the sheep. Doesn’t get much better than this!

We’re having some fun now!

    If it’s so hot, why does Giovanni look so cool?

    Diva dear, is there any chance of having some fun with someone more local, like me? They are about to take my roof off, so as soon as I think the roses are safe, I will be wandering a bit… the bathroom has no ceiling once the roof is off.

    Showering under the sun and stars sounds fun.. building no!

    We will probably cross paths as we are heading south to Puglia!
    but let me know!
    Always ready for a good time.

Originally from California; Tuscany has been my home since 1984. I found the city of Florence to hold all my passions, food, wine, art all in one place. When I am not in Tuscany, I am often found in Sicily, my other favorite place to be. Always searching for recipes to share and exploring for the guides I write to my favorite cities for food and wine.
