This wine is essentially the “Principiante” from Santa Colomba which we’ve had, but rather than traditional method, it’s done in the Charmat method; secondary fermentation is begun in large tanks rather than in bottle. The result is slightly softer and a

Pierluigi Lugano’s excursion out of his natural winemaking home of Liguria… here he teams up with a colleague from the Veneto to make this exquisite Prosecco. Frizzante, so just delicately sparkling, with a silky texture and elegant flavors of silky white

Winemaker Aurelio del Bono is located in Franciacorta, but rejects the DOCG’s status because they are not rigorous enough for him. This wine is aged on the lees for 10 years(!) before it is released. Satiny, dusty-rose colored with notes of fresh rhubarb

Col Tamarie’s beautiful vineyards are located in the Vittorio hills giving them some elevation and chiller evening temperatures to retain freshness. Citrus, white flowers and herbs on the nose. On the palate, it is dry and savory with an easy-drinking nat

Organic Prosecco is hard to find, but here it is! The estate for this bottling, Tenuta Giol, began the conversion process all the way back in the 80’s; the estate has existed since the 14th century. Clean, crisp, and lively on the palate. Everything we al

Angelo Paternò began this winery 25 years ago, which is now run by his daughters, Marilina & Federica. Doing everything naturally, under the influence of local winemaking legend Frank Cornelissen, this wine is completely dry, but retains robust, wild arom

An earthy undergrowth note is balanced by some red fruits and a bit of bitter citrus rind here. Emilia-Romagna tends to be known more for it’ s cuisine than it’s wines, but examples like this are exciting indications of the potential in this region.

Somewhere between a light red and a dark rosé, with a slight bluish hue. Fresh aromas of strawberry, orange peel and delicate forest floor. Those flavors come through and are joined by a gentle mineral quality. Light bodied and giggle-inducing.

A delightfully drinkable Lambrusco; darkly colored but light and lithe on the palate, with raspberry purée, earth, and freshness. Perfect for parties, perfect for greasy New York pizza, for ham sandwiches from the bodega…
