Almost All Italian - With A Napa Cab Conclusion

Cost: Free

The arrival of the new releases of Professor Luigi Moio's Quintodecimo Campania whites is always a highlight of the year. As Wine Advocate says, "Professor Luigi Moio's Quintodecimo is producing what I consider to be the best wines in Campania at the moment." And we're especially excited to be sharing two of his three 2025 whites with you this Saturday from noon-4pm. Here's the full line-up:

Terre Nere Etna Rosato 2025 - Serious - and seriously delicious - Etna Rosato from 100% Nero Mascalese and vines 25-40 years old on the north slopes of the volcano. As Vinous says in the 93 point rave, "The 2025 Etna Rosato is so impressive."

Picollo Ernesto Gavi di Gavi Rovereto 2025 - The best vintage yet for this crisp, snappy, 100% Cortese white with a steely mouthfeel and long, dry, finish. A lot of wine from $16.98.

Quintodecimo Fiano Di Avellino Exultet 2025 - Luigi Moio always gets a little extra richness of texture in his Fiano with, as Vinous says, "amazing balance through its ripe pit fruits, saline minerality and pretty inner florals."

Quintodecimo Greco Di Tufo Giallo d'Arles 2025 - This old Greek grape delivers body, minerality and a distinctive savory edge. As Vinous says in the 92-94 point praise, “Its balance is otherworldly.”

Loren Crossing Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2023 - Maybe it’s a sign of the soft market, but it’s been a while since we’ve seen Napa Cabernet of this quality at such an enjoyable price! As Suckling says in the 90 point review, “Over-delivers for a value wine."

All the wines are on sale during Saturday's tasting and you can mix/match your way to best six-bottle or more discounts during the tasting, too. The Quintodecimo wines are especially stunning, and this will be the only time we're able to pour them for you. Don't miss the chance to experience some of Italy's greatest whites!
