Hi everyone,
Dogliani was a rest stop with the relatives and is situated in the north of Italy. Cousin Renzo was a geat guide and we got to experience the local area intimately. From walks in the mountains near the south eastern French boarder to a small local distillary called Levi, where we got to see first hand how the grappa is produced, stored and controlled by the Italian tax office. A tasting was in order, and boy this stuff is 50% proof and knocks your socks off.
We went to see the old family home where Anna's mum grew up and is still owned by her anuty and uncle but only used as a store for farm machinery.
After the fist night in Dogliani I understood how this place got its name. At night it is so still and when one dog barks all the dogs in the whole valley also bark!!!!!
Next stop is Brusson which is in the northern alps of Italy.
Ciao for now.
