Lil Italy
Come with us as we journey through Italy. We want to show off some rad wines, with amazing flavors and outstanding values. These wines are delicious and won’t break the bank. Our white will be a grape called Passerina. So cool. For reds we offer a classic Montepulciano, and wine that blends all 3 of piedmont grapes with a “Langhe”, and we finish with a big Sangiovese from Romagna! Pinch your fingers and talk with an accent

Barone Cornacchia, Passerina $14
This certified organic Passerina is found within the Marche Wine Region of Italy. Though Passerina isn’t as popular as Verdicchio, Passerina produces wines with a distinctive personality. These clean, fresh wines are dry and defined by aromas of flowers and delicate herbs.
Collefrisco, Montepulciano $12
Ruby red color with violet reflections. A strong fruity scent, containing hints of slightly spicy cherry plum. Nice structure and well balanced. A fantastic wine. Pizza night, book club, or sneak it into grandma’s room and let her have at it.
Corsini, Langhe “Matot” $18
The Rosso Matot is Piedmonte in a glass. All 3 Piedmont grapes, Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo, harmoniously blend together to result in a rustic wine that offers notes of blueberries, cherries, currants and fresh tobacco. Nice and round acidity with a component of dill joining on the finish.
Ancarni, Romagna Sangiovese “Oriolo” $23
Ruby red with a garnet vein. Floral with strong evidence of violet Mamola and Pomegranate notes. Important structure with a sharp entrance but determined taste, long lasting. Dry, nicely astringent and bitter-salty hint in the end. All organic and absolutely stunning.
