Lunch Al Fresco underneath olive trees sipping on a glass of rosé and enjoying a smoked swordfish carpaccio.

The first picture says it all, an authentic Italian masserie in the midst of the olive groves that holds the dignity of elegance and true Italian genuity. We are greeted with warmness were the atmosphere is pleasant and relaxed. The iconic floral print melts into the background draping just right like the vine leaves against the wall. Ps. In the above first, you can see the stunning rosemary bush in  the corner of the building on the right side of the tree.

This babydoll is perfect for lunches by the pool. It has a deep open back and just feels nice and airy. I’m wearing a bikini underneath so it’s quite convinient too but it looks beautiful with a lace black or neon strapless camisole bra underneath. The dress is soft and romantic with a hint of oriental where the minty green and abstract flowers make it fun and vibrant. The dress is easy to play around with that works casually during the day but dresses up nicely for evening occasions as well. I would mix it up with a leather jacket and moccasins or then with classic  heals and a large silky scarf.

Wine Pairing

We enjoyed fresh rosato from Castel Del Monte, a wine region in Puglia. It was called Castel del Monte Rosato 2011 and was dry with an aromatic perfume that embraces the palette. The wine complemented my fish by adding a wholesome finishing touch. We tried as much local wines as possible and this one was a refreshing change.
