These vineyards are located inside the walls that surround the castel of the popes which is now in ruins (have a look at the video below).

Just recently I posted about wineries going organic, and it is nice to see that wine folks out there in the industry actually read my little ol' blog here because I soon heard from the nice folks at Charles Krug... Continue .
