The Wines!!

Contesa Pecorino D'Abruzzo DOC $18.99
Ranked in the top 10 for number of awards won among wines from this region: the International Wine Challenge awarded the 2013 vintage Bronze and the Decanter World Wine Awards awarded Bronze.Only two critics have rated this wine in the 90's.
A top-class example of an increasingly fashionable Italian grape variety. Full, crisp and dry with a bouquet of flowers and pleasing aftertaste of ripe fruit.


Contesa Montepulciano D'Abruzzo $19.99
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is an Italian red wine made from the Montepulciano wine grape in the Abruzzo region of east-central Italy. It should not be confused with Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a Tuscan wine made from Sangiovese and other grapes.
This wine is smooth and easy to drink and pairs well with tomato based sauces and pizza.


Dante Rivetti Barbera D'Alba $19.99

Cascina Chicco Valmaggiore Riserva $49.99
100% Nebbiolo. Very ageable.
Surprisingly deep colour for Nebbiolo. Peppery nose of sour cherry with a hint of orange. Full, almost dense fruit with soft drying tannins. Lots of concentration on the palate with rich and immediate aromas of violet and raspberry. Well structured with touches of spice and cacao on the finish.

Monte Faustino Amarone Della Valpolicella $89.99

92 points Wine Spectator; 92 points Vinous
This fantastic Amarone has an incredible concentration of black cherries on the nose.

Silky tannins envelop the fruit and leaves an incredibly long, chocolatey finish.
