Wines

White wine
- Prosecco Valdo, Veneto NVElegant straw-colored sparkling wine with aromas of white wildflowers and notes of green apple. It has tiny bubbles with a frothy feel on the palate.$47.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Sparkling Rose', Cantine di Mogoro, Sardegna. NVThis is a classically styled Italian sparkler, bright red-fruited and effervescent made from a blend of native Sardinian varietals including: Vermentino, Moscato and Cannonau.$55.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Half-Bottle Sparkling Rose’ Ferrari, Trentino Alto Adige NVDelicate harmony between the elegance of Chardonnay and the structure of Pinot Nero, with a refined bouquet of berry fruits. Coppery, tending towards old rose. The perlage is fine and persistent. At the nose refined hints of wild strawberries and redcurrants, with a fresh sensation of hawthorn flowers, underpinned by a delicate note of crusty bread deriving from its more than 20 months’ ageing on the yeasts. The taste is fresh and fruity, with a touch of mellowness: the flavor of sweet almonds is supported by an acidulous vein that is extraordinarily appealing.$35.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Perle’ Ferrari, Trentino Alto Adige 2013The best Chardonnay from the family’s vineyards is used to make this vintage Trentodoc; it is the wine that best summarizes the art of Ferrari. The phrasing of its taste is highly elegant, with a crescendoing finish. The perlage is extremely fine and persistent. At the nose its aromatic richness of extraordinary expressiveness: the scene is dominated by hints of Reinette apples and citrus fruits, accompanied by white peach, almond blossom and toast-like notes. The taste is elegant and harmonious, with the unmistakable fruity, aromatic sensations that are typical of Chardonnay. These are followed by a slightly almondy finish of great persistence, the result of long ageing on the yeasts.$75.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Pinot Noir Rose', Copain, Mendocino. 2018The 2018 Tous Ensemble Rosé of Pinot Noir exudes aromatics of pink grapefruit, strawberries, white peach, and freshly plucked rose petals. With a subtle hue of pale salmon, this rosé produces notes of melon, fresh cherries, lychee, and anise. Fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel tanks, this wine demonstrates freshness and a long, mouthwatering finish.$55.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Dalila Riserva, Stemmari, Sicilia. 2016Very pleasant white wine made from Grillo (80 percent) and Viognier (20 percent). Grillo is a native Sicilian varietal that brings intense tropical floral and fruit aromas while the Viognier shows delicate peach and citrus. Together they make a smooth blend that hits all the right notes. The aromatics are powerful, and they show up as you pour the wine into your glass. The color is a pale yellow with touches of green. The flavor is an elegant melding of peach, citrus and floral with an undercurrent of vanilla and oak.$58.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Vermentino di Sardegna Le Giare, Sardegna 2019With a nose of lemon and green apple mixed with elegant floral notes, this wine has a creamy mouth feel with just the right acidity to cleanse the palate—and a fine, dry-mineral finish with tastes of almond$49.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Val di Neto “Critone” Librandi, Calabria 2018Bright aromas of citrus peel, lemongrass and stone carry to the light-bodied palate. This blend of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc is crisp and refreshing, yet well structured, with a fuzzy, textured finish.$53.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Bombino Bianco, Masseria Furfante, Puglia. 2019A crisp, dry, easy-drinking white, with citrus and herbaceous notes with good minerality.$47.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Ravello Bianco Cuomo, Campania 2019Taste the Mediterranean sun in a glass! Pale straw yellow color with greenish hues and a characteristic fruity aroma mixed with floral notes. Balanced flavor sustained by a slightly acidic note which enhances aromatic freshness. 60% Falanghina and 40% Biancolella.$55.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Verdicchio Classico di Jesi, Marchetti, Marche. 2019Refreshing citrus fruits, playful acidity, and complex minerality are the hallmarks of this varietal, and when well-made, it is one of the best whites in the Mediterranean world. Incredibly, this wine is all free-run juice (no pressing!).$49.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Ca’ Brione Nino Negri, Lombardia 2017This is one of few white wines from Valtellina. Nebbiolo is mixed with Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Incrocio Manzoni (which has Riesling as one of its parents). The mix creates a very interesting wine. Light yellow, almost greenish. Gooseberries, melon and oak to the nose. Fresh, kind of fruity on the attack. Gooseberries, melon, spiciness and oak to the palate. Long fruity and remarkably fresh finish. This is one of those wines that manages to combine the softness of oak while still having good acidity.$74.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Monferrato Bianco, Montemagno, Piemonte. 2019The nose of this wine is so complex and inviting a complex blend of spice and herb from 50% Sauvignon Blanc and 50% the indigenous variety Timorasso that shows lots of grit, earth, apple skin. On the palate this wine is vibrantly focused around a superb acidity that is enveloped in a richly textured mid-palate full of spiced apple, freshly cut hay with all sorts of baking spice for this unoaked wine. The finish is incredibly long, vivacious, and carries through the same flavors to a crescendo, an absurdly good food wine.$57.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Timorasso La Colombera, Piemonte 2016Crisp, high acid and very mineral; it will remind you of a very dry Riesling, with less sweet fruit when it is about five years of age or more. Before that, it has aromas and flavors of white flowers, unripe stone fruit, and bright citrus. Fruity and floral, with hints of sweet candy; mineral and hydrocarbon notes in the phase of aging.$95.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Roero Arneis, F.lli Povero, Piemonte 2018Bouquet: floral scents with aromatic notes Taste: soft with a persistent finish. This Arneis is made in a rich, creamy style that brings out the grape's richness and texture. This is one of the bigger, fatter versions of Arneis.$55.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Gewurztraminer “Cros del Mont” Pravis, Alto Adige 2018The color of this wine is unmistakably golden yellow; on the nose the classic presence of cinnamon, rose petals, nutmeg, cloves and lychees. All this carries on in the palate; elegant, soft, almost creamy with a pleasant crispy acidity. Prominent perfume of rose blends well with notes of wild peach. It is a gem specially if you are looking for a wine balanced in aromas and flavors, with a distinguished personality.$55.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Pinot Grigio del Collio Tiare, Friuli 2018Wide the complexity and with an unforgettable feeling of having tasted a white wine that really remembers the fruits of the fields, the pears on all.$55.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Pinot Bianco, Niklas, Alto Adige. 2019The Pinot Blanc "Hos" by Weingut Niklas is a white wine from South Tyrol coming from vineyards located near Lake Caldaro, at an altitude of 500 meters. The soils on which the vorfirici and calcareous vines rest are responsible for the marked minerality and flavor that characterize this great South Tyrolean white wine, enriched with aromas of pears and Golden apples, flint, and mixed citrus fruits.$55.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Ribolla Gialla Buzzinelli, Friuli 2019Clean and crisp, this minerally white offers flavors of yellow pear, fresh tarragon, smoke and Meyer lemon zest, and a light, pleasing plumpness on the finish.$45.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Sauvignon Blanc, Tiare, Friuli. 2017The Best Sauvignon in the World - literally. Tiare's unoaked 2013 Sauvignon blanc was awarded the 'Best Sauvignon in the World' medal at the 2014 edition of the World Sauvignon contest, held in Bordeaux, France. Chosen from nearly 500 wines from 21 countries, this was highest honor ever given to an Italian wine at this major international event. This wine is seductive. Straw yellow color with greenish tints and intensely crystalline. The fruity and varietal fragrances are extensive, interesting and complex: hints of elderflower and pleasant citrus notes, combined with aromas of sage and hints of boxwood with a subtle scent of tomato leaf and a finish reminiscent of geranium. Gradually one gets aromas of peach and lychees. In the mouth, it has character and structure, it’s persistent and harmonious. Its high acidity confers an interesting freshness to the wine. It is a wine that will age well.$75.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Vintage Tunina Jermann, Friuli 2013One of the legendary white wines of Italy. A blend of sauvignon, chardonnay, ribolla gialla, malvasia and picolit. Brilliant straw-yellow color with golden highlights. Its aroma is intense, full, with enormous elegance and persistence, and with hints of honey and wild flowers. Its taste is dry, velvety, and very well-orchestrated, with an exceptional persistence due to its particularly full body.$95.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Pinot Grigio "Ambra", Movia, Slovenia. 2015Very interesting wine with a deep gold/orange color. Flavors unlike that of your typical Pinot Grigio. Lots of floral, honey, unripened apricot, and red apple skin notes. Medium acidity, light minerality, and a creamy texture. Unrefined. Unfiltered. Low sulfite. Organic/Biodynamic/Equivalent$78.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Chardonnay Antica, Napa Valley 2016The elegance of the Antica Napa Valley 2014 Chardonnay is obvious in its crisp, orange blossom, fresh pear, mineral-laced, medium bodied style. This wine has superb aromatic presence with impressive purity of fruit. This is a lovely, delicately oaked, flavorful Chardonnay.$65.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Chardonnay, Pedroncelli, Sonoma. 2019The bouquet shows tropical fruit notes with a touch of peach and vanilla. Rich and layered with tropical fruit, honey, and peach flavors following through with balanced acidity and a touch of oak. Barrel fermentation and malolactic fermentation add underlying complexity and richness. Medium-bodied, the fruit flavors blend with bright acidity and a creamy finish.$55.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Sauvignon Blanc “Six Ridges” Kenwood, Sonoma Coast 2019Fresh, crisp and lively on the palate. Aromas of citrus and melon are paired with a subtle note of fresh cut grass. Initial flavors of lemon, lime and honeydew are followed by a crisp finish with good length.$55.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Moscato d’Asti Degiorgis, Piemonte 2018The winery is located in the small village of Mango, surrounded by the beautiful landscape of the Langhe region, rich in history and wine making traditions. Sergio and Patrizia Degiorgis run this small 20-acre property. Most of the vineyards are planted with Moscato d’Asti. The focus is on a well-managed vineyard and low yield production where the quality of the grapes is fundamental to produce good quality wines. Apricot and green apple on the nose, a sweet wine with very smooth texture and an excellent acidity leaving the palate feeling refreshed.$45.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Italian Reds
- Faro Rosso Bonavita, Sicilia 2016The Faro denominazione sits in one of Sicily’s prettiest countryside, located at the extreme north-eastern tip of Sicily separated from Calabria and the Italian mainland by the Messina strait. If Faro and its wines are starting to garner interest, a lot of the merit must go to small quality estates like this one. Bonavita is run by Giovanni Scarfone and his father Carmelo, with the aid of consultant Vincenzo Angileri. Bonavita’s north-exposed vineyards look out towards the Tyrrhenian Sea, differently from Le Casematte and other Faro estates that look towards the Ionian sea and whose vineyards have mainly south/southeastern exposures. At Bonavita, there is a mix of mainly sandy tufa or clay-calcareous soils, and the area is quite rainy and very windy compared to other parts of Sicily. Bonavita owns 2.5 hectares planted to Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio and Nocera."$85.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Cratere Terrazze dell’Etna, Sicilia 2011A blend of 80% Nerello Mascalese and 20% Petit Verdot, this offers aromas of toast, mature black-skinned berry, scorched earth, espresso and clove. The evolved palate delivers dried black currant, licorice, roasted coffee bean and tobacco alongside close grained tannins.$65.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Cannonau Templum, Sardegna 2016Pronounced ruby red with purple tinges when young, turning to garnet as it matures. Big, lingering, vinous bouquet typical of Cannonau, hints of forest fruits. Dry, fairly intense, good balance of acids and tannins, long finish in the nose and on the palate.$49.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Carignano del Sulcis “Nero Miniera” Esu, Sardegna 2017This wine is a great discovery for each wine lover. I tasted a small selection and directly becomes clear that this wine is one of those magical treasures of Italian viticulture. The variety is Carignano. It offers aromas with cinnamon and clove and a wealth of fruit, plums, very abundant subtle fruit, hints of herbs and all with a little inch of minerality and such length! The wine is intense, fresh, and the present tannins do not disturb. This wonderful wine comes from what is probably Europe’s largest concentration of engrafted pre-Phylloxera vines on the sands of Sulcis.
