Sparkling Wine

Maurizio Donadi of Casa Belfi is swimming against the Prosecco current by crafting wines strictly in accordance with the Biodynamic calendar and using biodynamic preparations in his vineyards. The result is pure and vibrant wines with ample acidity.

Slightly cloudy, slightly sparkling, completely delicious. A lot of subtle flavors and textures with this wine: chalky-wet stone mineral, light-zesty citrus, beautiful jasmine and sage, a soft creaminess & gentle cider note. It is continually evolving and

Yet another obscure Italian varietal has been saved from extinction thanks to a handful of intrepid growers in the region. Floral and dominated with green orchard fruits; balanced and mineral.

Like all great Lambrusco, this stuff is dangerous! Lively in the glass, with dark raspberry fruits and a touch of clean earthiness underneath. Take this bottle over to Frankie and Vali’s to pair with a delicious slice or three.

Alexander Koppitsch took over his parents vines in 2011 & started making his own wines instead of selling to the local co-op. The Zweigelt comes from a tiny ½ hectare site & only about 200 bottles are produced. That’s micro. Grab one while you can: fresh,

Bone-dry, with toasted almonds, green apple, some nice salinity, and lime zest. Winemaker Tamás Kovács was born into a winemaking family with deep roots in the village of Csopak. He’s been farming organically since 2011 and the methods have been hands-off

A truly unique wine: slightly sparkling, slightly sweet, skin contact…there’s nothing quite like it. Domaine Glinavos is committed to preserving the unique traditions of Greek winemaking, and we’re grateful.

A great little funky sparkler. Unfined and unfiltered, so the subtle cloudiness hints to that right off the bat. Zesty citrus rind, white flower and light nettle notes all dance above an invigorating floor of fine, but pronounced mineral.
