New Wine Flight
Introducing our new wine filght “degustazione,” with three new wines for the month of July. The theme this month is southern Italian wines, named “Sud-Italia.” The heat, the grill and lifestyle of the summer months beacons for rich, balanced southern Reds. The flight begins with a Calabrian wine called “Gaglioppo,” or as I refer to it as a Barolo of the south. Elegant and concentrated red fruit is the backbone of this light bodied red. The second in the flight is Salice Salentino from Puglia. A blend of negroamaro, a rustic red varietal, and malvasia a round fruity red makes this wine a really great medium bodied earthy red. The last in the flight is a bland of the very popular Syrah and Ner d’Avola from Sicily. The two varietals make a full-bodied round fruit forward wine with a kick of spice at the end. Hope to see you soon…
