DETAILS
WINE SELECTION
Starting off with welcoming Prosecco Toast!
1-Simone Capecci 2022 Pecorino Marche Italy $19.99
Not your conventional turkey white but perfect for those who like fresh, clean wine that's not too heavy. A complex bouquet where the perfumes of yellow fruits and sage predominate leads into inviting fruits of melon and tangerine delivering a full palate persisting to an elegant finish. It is well-balanced and textured with fresh acidity.
2-Ducarosso 2016 Chianti Riserva Tuscany Italy $17.99
This is a light ruby Chianti that delivers nice cherry, cedar wood, raspberry roll-up, cola, and some menthol tones. It has a medium structure with a medium finish and soft tannins. A blend of Sangiovese 85%, Canaiolo 5%, Merlot 5%, and Cabernet 5%.
3-Dogliotti 2019 Barolo Piedmont Italy $59.99
Bright garnet red, with orange reflections. Elegant, broad, intense and ethereal. It recalls the scent of withered rose and violet and the fruity fragrances of cherry in syrup and cooked plum. Dry, full, warm, robust, enveloping, austere but velvety, the flavor of red berries and blackberry emerges.
4-Recchia Le Muraie 2020 Valpolicella Ripasso Veneto Italy $24.99
Unique in its class, Le Muraie is a Valpolicella Ripasso or refermented. Recchia traditionally makes their Valpolicella Classico Superiore but then they referment it by adding the lees of their very rare and rich Recioto di Valpolicella. The process is slow and exacted and the result is a finished wine with the charm and refinement of Valpolicella Classico but it’s become full-bodied, with added richness and depth. The wine is aged 18 months in French oak barrels. It is a true gem.
5-Cava d'Onice Brunello di Montalcino Tuscany Italy $79.99
Opulent array of ripe and dried cherries, sweet spices, roasted hazelnuts and mocha. Full-bodied, polished and classy, with firm and sleek tannins framing integrated layers of dark fruit and spice. Better in 2025.
6-Recchia 2017 Amarone Veneto Italy $49.99
A deep garnet red in color, it has an ethereal bouquet of dried fruit. On the palate, it is full-bodied, warm, mouth-filling and dry. A substantial wine of rare elegance that lends itself well to ageing.
7-Recchia Ca' Bertoldi 2016 Amarone Veneto Italy $79.99
Discover the enchanting allure of Recchia Ca' Bertoldi, a distinguished red wine that embodies the quintessential flavors of the Veneto region. This exquisite wine offers a rich bouquet of dark cherries and plums, complemented by notes of vanilla and spice from aging in oak barrels. Its full-bodied texture and velvety finish make it a perfect companion for hearty meals or elegant evenings. Whether you're an avid wine enthusiast or a casual sipper, Recchia Ca' Bertoldi promises a sophisticated tasting experience.
