The Lineup

Acinum “Millesimato” Rosé Prosecco – 85% Glera, 15% Pinot Noir – Veneto, Italy | $14.99

Powder pink in color, very balanced with notes of strawberry, red currant, candied fruit, and herbal accents.       

Cantine Colosi Bianco – 50% Catarro 50% Inzolia – Giammoro, Sicily, Italy  | $15.99

An aperitif-friendly white wine that’s perfect for quenching your thirst. Creamy and crisp with white peach and citrus.

Terredora Di Paolo Loggia della Serra - Greco di Tufo DOCG  – 100% Greco di Tufo – Avellino, Campania, Italy | $26.99

High altitude vines get warm Mediterranean days and cool mountain nights which means this intense white wine has full flavor to go with GdT’s vibrant acidity. Apricot, apple, peach, and citrus make this great for shellfish, roasted poultry, and grilled halloumi

Il Chiosso Spanna Colline Novaresi – 100% Nebbiolo – Piemonte, Italy | $29.99

Spanna is a colloquial nam e for Nebbiolo from the Piemonte highlands. This expression is aged in stainless to accentuate the grapes’ natural elegance, fruitiness and warmth.

Speri Valpolicella Classico – 60% Corvina Veronese, 30% Rondinella, 10% Molinara – Pedemonte, Veneto, Italy  | $20.99

Ruby red with purple highlights, medium-bodied, and rich with fruit. File this wine in your ‘drink it now” rack and pair it with a wide range of food. Certified Organic.

Luisa Refosco Dal Peduncolo Rosso – Isonzo DOC - 100% Refosco dal Peduncolo  – Friuli Veneto Giulia, Italy | $21.99

Luisa’s vineyards sit on glacial soil in the Alpine foothills while warm Adriatic breezes and direct sunlight mitigate the cold influences. Their Refosco is bursting with jammy black fruits, refined tannins and a subtle, framing bitterness.

Fossacolle Rosso di Montalcino – Rosso di Montalcino DOC - 100% Sangiovese Grosso – Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy | $28.99

Think of this wine as a “Baby Brunello,” perfectly balanced between freshness and structure. Blackberry, raisin, and raspberry with enough “oomph” to enjoy with savory game meats, beef, or robust aged cheeses.
