Around Italy
We will be taking an Italian tour. Starting with Sicily and venturing into Umbria, Tuscany, and Basilicata! 2 bianci, and 2 rosso. Fantastic lineup with diverse flavors. Rich to zesty for the whites, and light and fruity to dark and brooding for the reds. Splendido!

Wine Tasting: $20
Brugnano, Grillo, Sicily Italy $19
Bright color with straw yellow notes and greenish highlights. The nose reveals intensely fruity and delicately floral aromas with notes of apricot, white peach and yellow plum, harmonized and perfectly combined with mentholated scents of eucalyptus, basil, tomato leaves and green pepper. On the palate, it has a good balance with the right fullness,
Anne Santi, Ninfa del Nera, Umbria Italy $22
A fresh and flinty Italian blend from Umbria, with plenty of minerality and crunchy fruit. Aromatic, with notes of prickly pear and citrus, opening up with more green fruit on the palate and a savory finish.
Castel Trebbio, De Pazzi Roso, Tuscany Italy $27
A Super Tuscan! (Tuscany Sangiovese and any French grapes) 20% of Sangiovese ferments in terracotta jars. The rest of Sangiovese, Syrah and Merlot ferment in stainless steel. The chalky tannins are integrated mixed berries and sweet spice. The palate is warm, soft and mouth-filling with rich tannins, balanced acidity, and a layered, complex finish.
Casa Maschito, Portale Adduca Aglianico, Basilicata, Italy $24
100% Aglianico del Vulture, Ruby red color with light and brilliant hues of orange. Bouquet of fruit jam with subtle notes of toasted vanilla and spices. The taste is nice and elegant and never too intrusive with tannins.
