Oenotria. Land of vines.

Capture your imagination with these wines trapped in a bottle. From far across the ocean a land of vines lives and breathes the magnificent green world of this Mediterranean eden. A land so filled with vines that the Greeks named it Oenotria, now southern Italy. Even today much of people lives revolve around growing, harvesting and processing the native grapes into the magical elixir of wine. No other land has been so a-plenty with so many different varietals. Over 300 hundred grape types have been found living and thriving. Come as we travel back and forth from the chilly north of Italy into the sunburnt south.

Wine Tasting: $10!

@ Humble Vine October 13th

4:00-8:00 PM

Here is the Lineup!

Carra, Di Casatico, Torcularia Lambrusco Rose, Emilia Romagna,  $22

60% Barbera, 40% Bonarda. A drystyle bubbly with a great drinkability without being too silly, thanks to its good fresh acidity. A good balance between sharpness and sweetness. Easy, easy, easy but pleasant, after all, and a hint of leafiness helps. A nice shiny pink with cherry skin hues.

Il Meridione, Catarratto Terre Siciliane    $10

wine is a ripe and approachable dry white from western Sicily. Lightly floral aromas with tropical and stone fruit notes. The rounded palate is balanced by crisp lemony acidity. Ideal as an aperitif or to accompany seafood, grilled fish and salads.

Villa Rosa, Barbaresco  Piemonte   $24

Mixed colors of ruby, plum, and brick converge in the glass. Black cherry, tar, tobacco and earth notes mingle across the complex bouquet. A lush, juicy style of Barbaresco, this fills the rich texture with cherry, strawberry, licorice and leather flavors. Supple yet firm, with terrific balance, ending with a long aftertaste of sweet fruit, mineral and vanilla. The tannins are well-integrated for a young Nebbiolo, leading to a long finish. Drink now, and over the next 10 years. Pairs well with truffles, mushrooms, wild game, and lasagna

Masseria Frattasi, “Caudium” Aglianico   $22

Caudium was the capital of Sannio, a shrine which still occupies the current acropolis fortified with a castle by the Lombards. Vine cultivation dates back to Crete, about 3500 years ago. The soils are varied, limestone and marble, sandstone and marl, clay and stone materials. Dark red. Aromas of blackberries, blueberries, jams of red plums. Thick, fleshy, persistent. The Aglianico del Taburno is very particular to the soils of the mountain, a middle-level consistency between Vesuvius and the Dolomites . In fact, its rocks are dolomite.
