November in Tuscany
November is a strange month, in which the olive harvest time ends the season of fields bedecked with flowers and the calendar gives way to the cold winter months when the land is bathed in those shades of black and dark brown blending with green country landscapes and leafless trees.
The scenery of Tuscany in November turns in what the English call “Dramatic Beauty” but without losing its magic and singular beauty. In a trip in November there are many things to relish such as the scenery shrouded in stunning morning mist and dinner based on white truffle, cep mushrooms and “novella” wine in restaurants.
November is also a month to taste the world renowned Tuscan oil which can also be relished in this season in all its splendour. In this season most regarded restaurants prepare the bruschetta (toasted handmade bread) with oil and garlic. The recently produced oil has a bright green colour and an intense almost sharp flavour that dilute immediately, reason why it has to be savoured “in situ”.
A visit to Florence and the main art towns is also a “gift from gods” as in this time of year there are fewer tourists visiting our pretty land and the flights tend to be cheaper. For example Ryan Air offers flights to Pisa at really low prices.
Take your time to indulge in this photograph set of Tuscany in November.
A hug for all of you,
Giovanni
