Arguably the best Lambrusco producer right now. Lambrusco is a sparkling red that hails from the region known as Italy's gastronomic capitol. This is a fruity yet fully dry expression. Drink it for any occasion or with some antipasti and be happy you did.

Ricci Curbastro is a heralded producer of sparkling wine made in the champagne method. These wines offer a very high value for the price point. Better than any champagne at the same price. Pair this with any fried dishes or the piccata.

Although a deeper hued rosé, this is classic Provence. Perfumed and fruity yet refreshing with nice minerality. Quintessential patio weather wine.

Pinot Grigio from Alto-Adige are focused fresh expressions of this super classic variety. Perfect for seafood and warm weather.

Coming from Alto-Adige. This is the one of the oldest wineries in the region. From here, you can expect light and refreshing sauvignon blanc. Pair with any red sauce dishes.

Marchesi di Gresy was Italian nobility before Italy unified. Situated in Barbaresco, they produce some of the best wines in the whole region. This Sauvignon Blanc is like a Sancerre with New Zealand aromatics. Crispy and refreshing, it will pair wonderfully with anything from salads to grilled fish.

This Trebbiano is blended with another local Abruzzo variety called Pecorino(not to be confused with the cheese). It will satisfy fans of wines that possess weight and texture yet remain fresh and not heavy. Think Sonoma Coast Chardonnay with prettier aromatics. Delicious on its own or paired with the Linguini Vongole.

Sammie's Fiasco is made by Bindi Sergardi. This family has been making wine for over 700 years. They have it down at this point. This is a new school delicious chianti in an old school bottle. Pair with the spaghetti and meatballs and fuhgeddaboudit.

Benanti is the winery responsible for putting Sicily and wines from Etna on the map. This wine is a dry light bodied wine offering tremendous complexity. On the nose you get volcanic ash and pretty fruit. On the palate, it drinks like a french pinot noir. Delicious on its own or paired with Cacio e Pepe.

Sesti is a fully biodynamic estate that produces some of the best Brunello and Rosso around. Classic profile of pretty red fruit, leather, and dried herbs. This wine is delicious with all dishes and will pair exceptionally with Parmigiana and steak.

Tommasi has been making wine in the Veneto for over 100 years. This style of wine drinks like a baby Amarone. Lighter on its feet but still rich with fruit, chocolate, and pepper notes. All this packaged in a silky smooth wine. Pair this with a Veal Marsala.

Elio Altare is famous for helping revolutionize Italian winemaking in the 1970s. Currently run by Silvia Altare, the winery has never been in better hands. This is a delicious Langhe Nebbiolo that will more than satisfy Barolo fans, as well as any fan of Pinot Noir and similar wines. Pairs well with everything.
