Italian Wine Specials - Available Now!

Through the end of the year, we're pleased to celebrate the joys of the season with the following Italian wine specials. Perfect for an evening spent soaking in the warmth of the holidays, each wine was meticulously selected with your enjoyment in mind.

Since antiquity, Italy has been praised for its remarkable range of indigenous grapes and wide

variety of winemaking styles. No other country in the world produces as many wines as Italy and

no other country can claim such a wonderfully varied range of local cuisines and wine pairings.

We welcome you to join us in exploring these gems. We have sourced these rare and

exceptional wines that we are sure you will love as much as we do!

“L’acqua fa male e il vina fa catare” -- Italian proverb

(Water is bad for you and wine makes you sing).

Malolactically fermented with no oak. Wonderful acidity and ripe tropical fruit flavors.

Fattoria dei Graciano Svetoni Torcalvano Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 13 / 50

A true small production winery, this wine is a beautiful expression of sangiovese. Bright and lively the fruit notes include strawberry and blackberry with background notes of coffee, toasted oak and vanilla.

Agricola Punica Montessu, Isola dei Nuraghi (Sardinia) 15 / 58

A blend of Carignono (Carignan) Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, don’t miss an opportunity to try this rare Sardinian gem. And if you like this don’t miss its big brother Barrua!

Tenute del Cabreo La Pietra Chardonnay (Tuscany) 52

Single vineyard old vine chardonnay. This wine spends a year in oak followed by a six month rest in bottle. A beautiful expression of chardonnay.

Agricola Punica Barrua, Isola dei Nuraghi (Sardinia) 85

85% Carignan from Sardinia, this world class wine delivers in a big way. Dark fruit notes complement an herbal spice flavor with hints of red pepper and licorice.

Setti Ponti Oreno, Arrezo (Tuscany) 120

A famous super-tuscan made of Merlot, Cabernet and Petite Verdot, this wine is a monster, a big, tannic monster. It may eat your steak for you if you don’t finish it!

A delicate expression of moscato this is a great way to end the evening!
