Gizziello takes it’s name from a legendary 16th Century opera singer who hailed from this area… and it makes sense because this wine sings. Delicate pink grapefruit, blood orange and a faint waft of basil. Light, crisp and elegantly refreshing.

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.

Ezio is a deeply principled man. Not only are his vineyards and winery organic, they are carbon neutral. He grew up surrounded by Moscato vines & believes in their potential for making wonderful wines. The sparkling Moscato is dry but retains the ethereal

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

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.

A lively sparkling red somewhat reminiscent of Lambrusco; dark and earthy, with generous red fruit. The Cordani family has been making wine for as long as anyone concerned can remember, always retaining an old school natural approach in the vineyard and c

Wine with pizza is generally kind of an American thing… Italians will usually have it with a beer, but the one exception is Gragnano. A red, sparkling wine, but quite different from Lambrusco. Made from grapes grown on the volcanic soils of Mt Vesuvius, i
