a wine that became known for sparkling sweetness in the 1970 s and 80 s, has made a great comeback in recent history in the united states and gone are the days of inexpensive, headache-inducing wines. best enjoyed with salumi and fritti, lambrusco is the name for both the region and the wine hailing from italy’s beautiful emilia-romagna. there are six main varieties of lambrusco, each producing distinctive styles of pink and red juice, ranging from dry and tannic to soft and fruity. le vigne di alice prosecco extra dry “daman” 2013 $48 Sorelle Bronca Prosecco di Valdobbiadene “particella 68”

the beginning of time. think of these as white wines made in a red wine style. skins, seeds, and stems co-mingle in acacia barrels, clay amphorae and steel tanks to add texture, weight, and flavors ranging from honey and mottled apricot skins to hay and sap. certainly not your typical whites, we encourage enjoying orange wines with traditional red wine foods, in a large glass, just slightly

small region, and a wine, and is always made from 100% nebbiolo. a young region, barbaresco was only awarded its docg status in 1980, although wine has been made here since the early 1900 s. unlike her big brother, barolo, barbaresco tends to have less aggressive tannins, and takes fewer years to age into a graceful wine. younger barbarescos will drink with more grip and dryness, while older barbarescos will show mature notes of soft, ripe fruits and tea-like tannins. piemonte piemonte barbera d’asti superiore docg ezio trinchero “vigna del noce” 1999 ezio trinchero “vigna del noce” 2007

tannins, but at their heart, they are wines with acidity, beauty, and elegance with age. barolo must be aged for 3 years before release, barolo riserva requires 5 years of aging, and many need 1520 years before they reach their drinking potential. lombardia friuli rosso di valtellina doc colli orientali del friuli doc ar pe pe 2012 $60 le due terre ’sacrisassi’ 2011 Skerk riserva “Teran” 2006 i

than 70% sangiovese with the requirement that white grapes be blended in to make bright, easy-drinking wines. at the time, a handful of producers fought to think outside the box, beyond the regulations of the doc, and they created the first super tuscan wines. some were all sangiovese, some were blends of bordeaux varieties, and as a result, the toscana igt designation was established in 1992. a revolution--wineries could now make wines without the governance of the doc. some of our toscana igt wines are 100% sangiovese, some are blends, many are from the chianti region. $58 $69 $35

he doesn’t conform to others’ ideas of what sicilian wine should be. he farms with respect for the natural environment and does nothing to his grapes: no sprays, no organic or biodynamic treatments, nothing. likewise in the cellar, grapes are left to ferment and make the kinds of wines they are meant to be. cornelissen’s vineyards are on the north side of mount etna in sicily, planted mostly to the local nerello mascalese variety. these are challenging, interesting, and very unusual wines. they can be cloudy, sometimes fizzy, oxidative, and tart. but they can also be supremely delicious. cornelissen’s style is risky, and not for everyone, but they are a glimpse into the simplest way of making wine. $54 $89 occhipinti “sp68” 2013 occhipinti nero d’avola “siccagno” 2012 COS frappato
