SPARKLING WINES
Domino (Vicara) / Monferrato – $21.00
Fresh, fruity but deliciously dry rosato spumante from the Piemonte area in northwest Italy. Made from the Grignolino grape, the untamed cousin of the Nebbiolo.
Colli Impervi (Balan) / Prosecco DOC – $17.00
Our first foray into the Valbiaddene, homeland of Prosecco. This is a very dry version of Prosecco, sourced from the Glera grape.
WHITE WINES
Elve (Madrevite) / Trasimeno DOC – $20.50
From the hills of northwest Umbria overlooking Lago di Trasimeno. The Grechetto grape is floral, crisp, light … perfect summer wine.
Allegre (Barone Sergio) / DOC Sicilia DOC – $18.00
The Grillo is Sicily’s fish wine … mildly acidic, floral, with a clean finish. Grilled tuna lovers will enjoy this accompaniment.
I Croppi (Celli) / Romagna DOCG Albana Secco – $18.50
Medium body white wine that annually attains “Tre Bichieri” (3 glasses) from Gambero Rosso. Its versality plays well with grilled pork and poultry.
Bianco Pomice (Castellaro) / IGT Terre Siciliane Bianco – $23.00
This is one heck of a deal … we received a final shipment and suggest you take advantage. The grapes are from the volcanic island of Lipari (Sicily) off the Italian ‘toe’.
Apifero (Francesca Fiasco) / Paestum Bianco – $19.00
Francesca brings forth Fallanghina, blended with a couple of other whites, from the Ciliento Mountains in southwestern Italy (the low reaches of Campagna).
RED WINES
Bonsalto (Bonsalto) / Toscana Rosso IGT – $18.00
A classic blend for the Tuscany/northern Umbria … it’s a lighter version of the classic Sangiovese since it’s blended with Malvasia Nera and Colorino, two local fave grapes.
Sergio (Barone Sergio) / Elora Nero d’Avola DOC – $19.50
I love to call the Nero d’Avola, the ‘Sangiovese of the South’ due to its pleasant, round touch to the palette. Gently floral and fruity. Serve with a chill in summer.
Adesso (Camparo) / DOC Langhe Rosso – $19.59
A light-bodied, floral, berry-noted red … translucent like a Pinot Noir … perfect summer red … serve chilled … for pizza, salumi (mixed Italian dried meats), and light red summer sauces.
Cantico all Crosia (Vicara) / Monferrato Superiore DOCG – $24.00
This is the classic Barbera … bigger, longer, notes of chocolate and fresh red fruit. We love this with the summer steaks on the wood-fired grill.
Il Debito (Emiliano Falsini) / Cabernet Franc IGT – $34.00
From the renown Bolgheri region along the Tyrannean Sea in southwestern Tuscany. Emiliano Falsini is a highly-regarded enologist and now has brought forth the first of wines from this terroir … a vino nobile.
Boilo (Camparo) / Barolo DOCG – $48.00
Barolo at its best … from the prime Nebbiolo area in Piemonte … Monferrato. This 2018 vintage is ready to drink. The price couldn’t be better.
