When I talk about Tenuta La Chiusa, my heart swells and my face lights up. The Tenuta is something more than an agricultural estate that produces wine and olive oil. It is history, divine nature, pure magic unleashed from the encounter of natural and architectural beauties with an unequalled landscape of antique flavor. Everything at the Tenuta tells of its story: from the ancient walls that tie it and its imposing gates to the avenue of olive trees that opens up from the area of the Villa, or the little chapel, the avenue “guarded” by two ancient cypresses, the rows of white and pink oleander that push nearly all the way to the sea. I had “painted” this paradise with words for Pina over the telephone and, when she and her partner Gianpiero visited the Chiusa for the first time they were literally taken aback.
