Specogna Profondo, Friuli NV
$45.00

Half-Bottle Sparkling Rose' Ferrari, Trentino Alto Adige NV
$35.00
Delicate 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
Perle' Ferrari, Trentino Alto Adige 2013
$75.00
The 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

Pecorino Illuminati, Abruzzo 2018
$47.00
The name Pecorino means "little sheep" and is perhaps more widely associated with Pecorino cheese, which is made from ewes' milk and is entirely unrelated, save for its etymological link. The grape is so called supposedly because it was a favorite treat for flocks of sheep driven to lower pastures. Illuminati's Pecorino is fragrant and rich in ripe fruit and white flower tones, almond, field herbs and citrus. It fills the mouth well, powerful and very persistent: a correct balance between structure and softness, thanks to freshness and sapidity that accompany the long finish
Ca' Brione Nino Negri, Lombardia 2017
$74.00
This 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
Chardonnay "Educato" Elio Grasso, Piemonte 2018
$65.00
First produced in 1990, Elio Grasso's Langhe Chardonnay "Educato" highlights the potential for international varietals in Monforte d'Alba. The "fantasy name" refers to Elio Grasso's attempt to understand and learn from a grape variety that is not native to Piedmont. Grown on the loose, sandy, limestone-based soils at the highest point of the vineyards, the relatively brief period in oak allows for richness without overwhelming the acids. Supple, ripe tree fruit and a core of bright acid are reinforced by luscious honey, fig and toasted nut aromatics
Timorasso La Colombera, Piemonte 2016
$95.00
Crisp, 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
Gewurztraminer "Cros del Mont" Pravis, Alto Adige 2018
$55.00
The 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
Pinot Grigio del Collio Tiare, Friuli 2018

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
Merlot Bianco Foffani, Friuli 2018
$57.00
Paper white with a light pink nuance. Floral, with some rose fragrances at the nose. At the palate: medium body, well structured, dry, perfectly balanced, harmonious
Chardonnay Antica, Napa Valley 2016

Moscato d'Asti Degiorgis, Piemonte 2018
$45.00
The 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
Sauvignon Blanc Pecorari, Friuli 2019
$55.00
A wonderful juxtaposition of intense fragrances: fruity notes of jazzy orange and zesty lemon that play astonishingly against the wild fennel and tomato leaf. Keep inhaling, this nose has a lot going on. The taste is rich, lively and fresh. The wine is nicely balanced and completely refreshing. Ample amounts of mineral meld with the long finish
Italian Reds
Faro Rosso Bonavita, Sicilia 2016
$85.00
The 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"
Cratere Terrazze dell'Etna, Sicilia 2011
$65.00
A 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
Cannonau Templum, Sardegna 2016
$49.00
Pronounced 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
Carignano del Sulcis "Nero Miniera" Esu, Sardegna 2017
$84.00
This 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. Carignano del Sulcis DOC is produced only in southwest Sardinia and on two local islands, San Pietro and Sant'Antioco. Where Carignan in France is mostly a grape used for blends and is considered of modest importance, here, in the warm sunny fields of Sardinia's southwest this grape offers wines with great potential
Korone' Podere Marini, Calabria 2017
$47.00
We can call this the Calabrian version of a Super Tuscan: Aglianico and Sangiovese blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to offer a full bodied and spiced red wine

Full bodied, very powerful concentrated, with gentle tannins seducing the palate and final warm sensation
Aglianico del Volture Grifalco, Basiicata 2017
$66.00
Grifalco is an excellent producer of Aglianico del Vulture owned by the Piccin family, who were originally wine producers in Tuscany but decided that southern Italy, Basilicata in particular, was more promising. I think they're right. Vulture is indisputably one of the best appellations in southern Italy, and I am delighted to represent this excellent producer Sourcing grapes from four different vineyards, Grifalco is the flagship wine of the estate, representing in their minds what Aglianico del Vulture should be and is capable of. Notes of blackberry, black cherry, licorice, and wild herbs. Well-balanced, with firm, sweet tannins and juicy acidity
Neprica Tormaresca, Puglia 2016
$45.00

Nero di Troia Gelso d'Oro, Puglia 2016
$79.00
The Gelso D'Oro is a converted wine in purity by pressing the only native grape Uva di Troia, among the oldest of the Apulian tradition. The harvesting is done by hand, early in the day to maintain low temperatures of the grapes, and to prevent the onset of fermentation. After malolactic fermentation, it is left to mature for the most part in oak barrels for eight months, then bottle aging gives the 'final harmony and the wide pleasantness. Deep ruby red, has aromas of black berry fruit with cocoa successive tones, cinnamon, cumin and juniper. In the mouth, it is enveloping, full-bodied tannic, with softened and velvety tones and balanced and long finish
Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo "Fosso Cancelli" Ciavolich, Abruzzo 2018
$75.00
This wine is fruity, fresh, smooth, a beautiful wine. Montepulciano d'Abruzzo fermented and aged in concrete. Because of its complexity in the wine making process only about 1000 bottles are made each vintage and when the vintage allows. The nose is complex, very young, fresh, fruity, on the palate the wine is lively, fruity, smooth, with a very long aftertaste
Chianti Riserva Badia a Corte, Toscana 2016
$60.00
The 2016 vintage was expressive and elegant. Rain in early September held off harvest, giving the fruit important time on the vine. the wines produced are deep in color with vibrant acidity and precise aromatics. Floral tones of violet and lavender dominate the aromas, followed by blueberries and vanilla bean. The palate is framed by bright acidity with a dense layered center. Flavors of tart cherries give way to a lingering finish of cedar and orange peel. This vintage will be remembered well, and has the structure and acidity to age beautifully
Brunello di Montalcino Capanna, Toscana 2013

Barbaresco Malgra', Piemonte 2015
$84.00
Barbaresco is considered one of Piedmont's greatest wines, on par with Barolo. It is a wine that benefits from a period of aging in oak barrels: the wood favors both strength and smoothness, complexity and balance, guaranteeing a harmonic evolution over the years. This wine's particular vinification style makes it drinkable at a relatively young age, yet it has the potential to evolve for years to come. The result is a rich, full, and smooth wine with great structure
Barolo "Monfalletto" Cordero di Montezemolo, Piemonte 2015
$125.00

Gravello Librandi, Calabria 2016
$67.00
This is a "Super Calabrian" wine made from the indigenous Gaglioppo and international Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Gravello is a fantasy name, but "grave" in Italian means "serious" and "important," which is a reference to the complexity and sophistication of this wine. The suffix of "-ello" makes this meaning a bit lighter, as the wine is accessible and drinking beautifully right now. Deep ruby-red in color, Gravello is intensely aromatic with notes of blackberry, ripe cherry, coffee, and cassis. On the palate, it is rich with velvety tannins and a persistent finish
