Asti!


April 2013 001, originally uploaded by Chiara and James Hemsley.

We took another day trip to Asti. Asti is where Asti Spumante, an Italian sparkling wine, comes from. Also Barbera and Barolo (red) wines comes from this region. It's known for its food and the city itself is on a hilly site with lots of old towers. There used to be something like 150 towers, but now there are only 15 left.
Here are Norah and Luke resting in a cute little park we found with seats shaped like leaves. Leaves with graffiti on them, but that's another story...
