ITALIA



FREE WINE TASTING

Piedmont - Poderi Elia - Barbera d'Alba 2004 - 100% Barbera d'Alba
From the village of Neive, comes Poderi Elia's classically styled Barbera d'Alba.
Made with vines that are nearly 90 years old, the purity and confidence of the fruit are stunning.The freshly pressed cranberries on the nose are accentuated by lush, bright pomegranate. As always with the wines of Federico Stella, the tannins are very soft and integrated, always granular and unimposing. A blissful wine with poached Salmon.


Sicily - Martorana - Colonna 2006 - 50% Nero d'Avola, 50% Syrah
To think of Sicilian reds, one's mind almost immediately goes to Nero d'Avola andSyrah. Made prolifically, and sometimes very well, on the Mediterranean's most famous island, the two are a powerhouse when deftly combined in the hands of a seasoned expert.
Giuseppe Martorana, one of the smallest and most energetic producers in Sicily, truly understands his land and its relationship to these dense-fleshed varietals that grow so effortlessly on his ocean-front vineyard. Lush, rubenesque, plummy fruit is layered in between whiffs of Moroccan spice, mincemeat and even sweet ginger.


Trentino - De Tarczal 2005 - 100% Cabernet Franc
The De Tarczal family has been making wine since the 1600's, specializing in classic local varietals, some of which are virtually extinct. Unlike many of their neighbors, they do not sell to co-ops, even though they are very small. In Trentino, Cabernet Franc is a classic varietal, considered as "local" as, say, Moscato Giallo.
Climatically, the area near Rovereto is very similar to Pomerol, and the results are striking. Oldvine winemaking, naturally low-yields, high-altitude, and valley ventilation make this Cabernet Franc a celebration of the varietal, as clean as stained glass, and equally artistic and expressive.

WINE TASTING THIS WEEK END


Free Wine Tastings this Weekend.

Exclusive Wines from Italia with Small Vineyards.

CAMPANIA - Tenuta Ponte 2007 - 100% Coda di Volpe
An ancient, full-bodied varietal from Campania, Coda di Volpe is virtually unknownin the States, but shares much of the appealing characteristics of Italy's most popular whites. Grown on cliffs over-looking the Tyrrhenian Sea, the wine is the perfect result of its location -- fresh, salty, rocky, and ripe from the intense Napolitano sun. Aromas of plantain, lemongrass and sweet basil swirl in the glass, and complement any seafood fare or Asian cuisine. A great value.

TUSCANY - Rigoloccio Rosso 2006 - 40% Cabernet Franc, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Alicante.
A highly inspired blend of Cabernet, Cabernet Franc, and Alicante, this wine marries medium-bodied approachability with exceptional zesty flavor. From the famed Maremma in Tuscany,the beautiful Rigoloccio estate has a sweeping view of the Tyrrhenian Sea, and borrows much of the wine's fresh, salty and pepper complexion from the big blue. This wine is slathered with flavor, extract, balance, minerality, tannins, length, deft cooperage, color and smile-inducing layers on the palate. Dusty and slightly herbaceous, Rigoloccio benefits greatly from the famous pyrite mine carved below the root system -- the flinty.


VENETO - Trevisol Prosecco Frizzante - 100% Prosecco.
From Valdobiaddene's grand family of prosecco, Paolo Trevisiol delivers an absolutedelight with this delicate, pleasing prosecco made in a wonderful, traditional frizzante style. Tiny, delicate bubbles deliver flinty aromas of acacia flower and Meyer lemon, all with Trevisiol's trademark minerality borne of his remarkable moraine soil. Finished with a classic French-style crown closure, the wine is perfect for lighter summer fare, especially oysters, fried chicken, or fresh fruit.
