🇮🇹🍷 A Bootful of W**e Flight | $20
Italy is my favorite w**e region, our cultural heritage may make me a little biased 😉🤣. But the depth, breadth, diversity, and quality of its w**es—rooted in centuries of history and tradition—are what truly set it apart for me. No other country boasts the amount of grape varieties as Italy!
In celebration of Italian Heritage Month, this flight features four w**es, offering exploration into some indigenous grapes and traveling the less beaten path, from sparkling rosé in the north to unique reds from the south and the Alpine northeast.
🥂 Montalbera Cuvée Rosé Brut | Piedmont
We begin in northwestern Italy with a lively sparkling rosé, bringing fresh red-fruit character and celebratory bubbles to the lineup
🍷 Statti Gaglioppo | Calabria
Next, we head south to Calabria, our ancestral home, to explore Gaglioppo—an ancient grape that offers a distinctive expression of southern Italian w**e. While the region’s warm Mediterranean climate can produce w**es that lean ripe, jammy, or even raisin-like, Gaglioppo’s refreshing acidity brings a more savory, elegant character to the glass. Think less jammy fruit, more earthy complexity—a compelling alternative for Pinot Noir lovers
🍷 Planeta La Segreta Rosso | Sicily
On to Sicily for a Mediterranean blend of Nero d’Avola, the iconic red from the island with Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Franc. This masterful combination provides a supple, ripe fruit character, accented by wild, peppery herbs
🍷 Kurtatsch Lagrein | Alto Adige
We finish in Italy’s mountainous northeast with Lagrein, a cousin of Syrah, it’s a native grape known for its deep color, dark-fruit character, and rugged edge
Four w**es. Four regions. A whole bootful of Italian character. 🇮🇹
