Thomas Kelly from Small Vineyards will be presenting the following wines from their portfolio of family owned and operated wineries. Food bites to be announced later.
Marchetti, Verdicchio Superiore, Marche $15
Full-bodied & lush, this is not a sweet wine. It is off-dry, taking advantage of an extra month on the vine to develop greater body, structure & fruit essence. It is deftly made, with lush fruits of pear, melon & a touch of honey complexion that retains beautiful acidity. A one of a kind wine from Marche.
San Giovanni, Fiano Paestum, White Wine $21
100% Fiano grapes. Bright notes of lime, honeydew & sea salt. A very rare Southern Italian white. Vines are 30 years old. Finish is long & focused.
Rigoloccio, Rosato Maremma IGT $10
100% Cabernet Franc. A pale pink style that defies its appearance with powerful minerality. Planted atop an old prite mine, wine leeches gun-metal
elements that men once risked their lives mining for. A pure summer pleasure in a fantastic rose that confirms why we all love pink.
De Tarczal, Cabernet Franc, Trentino $16
The De Tarczal family has been making wine since the 1600’s.
Old celebration of the varietal, as clean as stained glass, & equally artistic & expressive.
Martorana, Colonna, Sicily $14
50% Nero d’Avola, 50% Syrah.
Lush, rubenesque, plummy fruit is layered in between whiffs
of Moroccan spice, mincemeat & sweet ginger. Guiseppe Martorana truly understands his land and its relationship to the varietal.
Trevisiol, Rosecco, Veneto $15
40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, 20% Prosecco
Sparkling rose’. A light, effervescent with fresh berries, acidity and gentle bubbles.
Minerals shine through, making this wine serious while being delightful.
