At work in an olive grove in the Lungiana
Just after the wine is bottled in the Lunigiana the olives are ready to be harvested. Here I join my neighbor Enrico for a little turn at getting the olives off of the trees in the modern, yet artisanal way, much to the delight of the women watching. Along the way I tell you a little about olive oil and olive harvesting in northern Tuscany.
