2018 Villa Sparina Gavi
Piedmont, Italy
Made from 100% Cortese, this bright yellow wine has a delicate bouquet of dried pineapple and peach. Full and rich in flavor, yet mineral and refreshing. Fine aromatic flavors linger to the end. Excellent as an apertif or with food.
$19.99
Suggested Pairing: ~Lemon Butter Scallops

2018 Arneis Langhe
Piedmont, Italy
The grape Arneis is sometimes known as little rascal. That makes up 100% of this straw colored, bright white wine. With an intense bouquet of peach and acacia flowers, along with notes of chamomile, melon, and daisies, the wine is inviting and fresh, with a slightly bitter finish- typical of this varietal.

2018 Barbera del Monferrato
Piedmont, Italy
Babera is a very popular red varietal from Italy, and this vineyard produces an excellent example of why. Lots of dark-berry and slate aromas and flavors are the essence of this wine. It is full bodied, with loads of fruit and a long flavorful finish. You may also detect notes of balsamic too in this popular, refined, and transparent style.
$19.99
Suggested Pairing: ~Minestrone Soup

2018 Morellino di Scansano
Tuscany, Italy
Ruby red, yet bright and clear, this red blend is made up of 85% Sangiovese, 10% Alicante, and 5% Malvasia Nera. It opens with notes of cherry, but the body is well balanced with distinguished acidity. It a juicy wine, with crisp tannins that are well integrated: a wine linked to its land but with a style that is appreciated worldwide.
