An evening table at Trattoria da Francesco under terrace lights

A bottle of PerSe La Craie 2019 in front of a vineyard at sunset

One long dinner · early summer

A table worth coming back to

The terrace we want to go back to, and a bottle saved for next time.

A spritz and handwritten specials menu at Trattoria da Francesco under terrace lights — The terrace as the sky turned blue.

We chose the table under the lights and ordered from the specials written across the menu. The first drink arrived while there was still colour in the sky.

Next time, I’d bring friends. I added the La Craie photo from another day so we have a bottle in mind when we make plans.

Bottle · for next time

“Bring this one when we come back.”
