And the award of this months Owner's Photo Competition goes to Lionel Pottier of Saint-Hilaire, France.
We choose Lionel's photo not necessarily because he participated in our olive harvest, but he managed to capture the magic of our annual tradition.
An arduous time of the year when family and friends gather and share stories of the past and gossip… but all in good fun. The "workers" are traditionally awarded with a Tuscan lunch consisting of thick slices of freshly baked bread, finocchiona, rigatino, wild boar sausage, and all types of pecorino cheeses and lots of red wine, served on an old blanket, around which everybody sits down and enjoys the clear blue skies and warm autumn sun.
Not to be confused by Claude Monet's picture "Luncheon on the Grass".
As we continue to increase our photo gallery, we encourage all of our owners and their unaccompanied guests to email reception@borgodivagli.com with their own favorite photos of Borgo di Vagli in high resolution. Each month one high resolution photo will be chosen and circulated electronically; the winner will be presented with a bottle of Brunello di Montalcino when they are next at their 'Home in Tuscany' - Borgo di Vagli.
