Matta per la pasta! Today at the villa, Rosaria Matta per la pasta! 

Today at the villa, Rosaria @instacucinacasareccia taught our Matta crew the art of making fresh pasta from scratch! So much fun!!! 

Impasta. Parla. Mangia. Ripeti.

🍷 Wine before lunch? When in Tuscany! 

This morning our Matta Villa crew headed to Tenuta Frassineto for a wine tasting among the vines, learning about the wines, practicing our Italian, and naturally doing some very serious research. 

And afterward? A picnic on the lawns of Frassineto, surrounded by the Tuscan countryside, with good food, good wine, and even better company.

Italian immersion is hard work, ragazzi! 😂

Vino, italiano e un picnic sotto il cielo toscano. Che vita!

It’s a New Day in Tuscany with Matta and Cultura I It’s a New Day in Tuscany with Matta and Cultura Italiana!

Buongiorno, Toscana! ☀️🇮🇹

Morning light, Tuscan hills, a quiet villa… and that first essential caffè. ☕️

Some mornings don’t need much explaining.

Svegliarsi così… che meraviglia!

The Matta and Cultura Italiana Italian Immersion P The Matta and Cultura Italiana Italian Immersion Program in a Villa in Tuscany continues!

Today ——> Flour flying, hands kneading, and the villa kitchen smelling absolutely AMAZING! 

Today Rosaria rolled up her sleeves with our Matta Villa group and taught us the Italian art of making pane e taralli fatti in casa!

We mixed, kneaded, rolled, twisted, shaped... and, of course, spoke lots of Italian along the way. Because around here, even the dough gets a language lesson! 😂

There’s something pretty wonderful about learning Italian around a kitchen table, with flour on your hands and something delicious baking in the oven.

Impastare, infornare, assaggiare... e parlare italiano! 🇮🇹❤️

Another delicious day of Italian immersion at our Tuscan villa!
