OUR WINE

 

My forte is Italian wines. I'm excited by the infinite range and personality of Italy's indigenous grapes. The array of clones are so colorful and diverse … just like the Italians. Our eclectic wine list is a celebration of this diversity. I've selected wines that embody a region's best and typical qualities as well as wines that are unusual and unknown.

 

I want to take your palate on a journey through Italy including its remote parts. Starting you with some still Prosecco just like the Venetians drink it by the “damigiane”, to the sparkling super-fun Gragnano della Penisola Sorrentina, take you to the soft and savory Barberas of Piedmont, interest you in the great deals of the Morellino di Scansano, then show you how a Sangiovese from Molise can be just as good, if not better, than a Sangiovese from Tuscany. I would like to show you the tremendous respect I have for the Barolos, Barbarescos and Brunellos of Montalcino. But also, how proud I am of finding gems like a great Negroamaro, a noble Aglianico from Taburno, an unusual Sforzato from Valtellina, or an opulent Ripassa.

 

Get carried away by the passion and possibilities. Come and share your passion with us. I’m sure you’ll find something interesting and different that will awake and excite your palate.

 

Happy drinking!

 

Vito Polosa
