Porto Tores




4 million pounds of corn can be stored here!!!








Left Siniscolla after the wine tasting competition. GSE OKC got to pick the 2nd and 3rd place wine for the Sardanian competition. There was also a huge Italian wedding in the same location and it was quite the experince! The team later went to Porto Tores and had another great experience. Antonio and Nina were so much fun and hosted most of the team. We were able to break away (quickly) for a trip to the beach, but later visited the fertalizer, feed, and seed plant of Antonio. It was very impressive!! He imports fertalizer from all over the world and exports feed and seed to areas in Italy. A true entreprenuer and self made man. He loved to kiss the GSE OKC girls on the cheaks!! A totally fun guy!! The team celebrated with a bottle of champagne after the tour in true Antonio style. Thank goodness for our few interpreters.
