FEATURED WINES
2008 TASCA D'ALMERITA REGALEALI BIANCO IGT SICILIA BIANCO OUR PRICE $11.99
SICILIAN WHITE...Regaleali Bianco is the first wine produced by Count Tasca d’Almerita on the Regaleali Estate. A blend of three Sicilian grapes-- Inzolia, Catarratto and Grecanico-- this a versatile, refreshing, and delicious white. Straw yellow in color with a delicate and persistent bouquet of green apples, peach, pear and citrus, Regaleali Bianco is dry and crisp with excellent structure and a superb fruity finish. Clean and refreshing, Regaleali is great for antipasti, Asian cuisine, fish, shellfish, octopus salad, and vegetables. A blockbuster and a terrific value.
2008 ARGIOLAS SERRALORI ROSATO IGT ISOLA DEI NURAGHI OUR PRICE $13.99
SARDINIAN ROSATO... A blend of native varietals Cannonau, Monica, Carignano and Bovale Sardo. This crisp rosato boasts a rich salmon color, with the lively hues typical of a young wine. Fresh, bright and youthful, its intense flavors of wild berries and herbs are reminiscent of the Mediterranean. Extremely versatile, Serralori is a great wine for summer parties.
2007 SAN POLO RUBIO IGT TOSCANA OUR PRICE $14.99
TUSCAN RED... 100% Sangiovese. At San Polo, the Rosso is obtained from the same parcels as the noble grapes that go into the Brunello, however, the yields are less stringent for Rosso and the aging time less. The youngest and freshest wine is selected for Rosso di Montalcino, leaving the wine most suitable for Brunello di Montalcino to be aged further. San Polo Rosso combines evident notes of freshness with a structure that is easy to drink and enjoy. Brilliant ruby red with purple hues, this wine has an intense and persistent bouquet filled with fresh aromas of red cherries, violets and currants, followed by subtle spicy notes. Well structured and balanced with good tannin levels, Rubio is quaffable, yet notable for its intensity and elegance. This wine is excellent by the glass and ideal for barbecues. Also try it with prosciutto, salami, pasta dishes with tomato sauce, grilled sausages and meats and cheeses.
2007 ALLEGRINI VALPOLICELLA DOC VENETO OUR PRICE $16.99
VENETO RED... Made from 65% Corvina Veronese, 30% Rondinella and 5% Molinara vinified in stainless steel tanks. This fruity Valpolicella offers luscious aromas of cherry, herbs, chocolate and mocha, with a medium body and balanced acidity. Lively and easy to drink, with moderate tannins and a bright, vivacious color, this wine is best enjoyed young to appreciate the exuberant and intense fruitiness. Recommended with antipasti and lighter pasta dishes. Valpolicella also complements seafood and lightly grilled white meats.
2005 ALLEGRINI PALAZZO DELLA TORRE IGT VERONESE OUR PRICE $23.99
VERONA RED...This blend of 70% Corvina Veronese, 25% Rondinella and 5% Sangiovese is a smooth, full-bodied cru made in an innovative ripasso style. 70% of the grapes picked are vinified immediately, and the remaining 30% are left to dry until the end of December. The fresh juice obtained at harvest is blended with the juice for the dried grapes, initiating a second fermentation, and rendering a more highly concentrated and complex wine. What Allegrini affectionately refers to as their "baby Amarone" is more approachable with its pleasant fruity character with raisin-like qualities. Pairs well with a wide range of first courses, including full-flavored pasta and risotto dishes. Also enjoy with roasts such as veal, turkey and lamb, as well as with grilled meats such as barbequed chicken, steak or sausages. Excellent with hard and semi-hard cheeses.
