You arrive at a low, sun-baked hill and the first thing that hits you is the quiet — vines rustling, a cork popping somewhere down below, and the solid presence of an old oak that throws a wide, welcome shade. At Pervino, the picnic site sits on a private slope with open views over cultivated terraces; pillows and a blanket are already laid out, a wicker basket waiting with locally made cheeses, prosciutto and bread, and a bottle of the Pervino wine you’ve chosen.
