CAMERANO (part XII): Get your own bottle!

ELLIOTT YANCEY can handle his wine.

He toured the vineyard of Silvano Strologo, tasted a few gentle, dry reds, bought a few bottles and posed for pictures with a really heavy 27 liter monster.

Silvano Strologo - who was nice enough to show us around despite our arriving during pausa - said that he recently sold three of the large bottles to a restaurant in Germany.

Lucky Germans.

The vineyard produces only red wines, mostly varieties of the regional specialty - the Rosso Conero. The grapes are grown across the street from the cantina and you can stroll the grounds at your leisure.
