The Wines!!
HYDRA VERNACCIA DI SAN GIMIGNANO $24.99
Il Palagione is an historic farmstead dating back to 1594, set along the scenic road connecting San Gimignano to Volterra. San Gimignano is commonly referred to as the “Manhattan of the Middle Ages”. Certified Organic, The Vernaccia di San Gimignano Hydra (made with organic fruit), is light and luminous in appearance with simple aromas of white peach, melon, a note of raw almond and crushed mineral. The wine is snappy and streamlined in terms of mouthfeel with a bright and compelling personality. But don’t drink it too cold. Give it some time out of the fridge before drinking. Or start drinking and note how the exchange becomes less slap and sting, and more kiss and lick as temperatures rise. If you talk to Giorgio Comotti who spends every day of the year in the vineyard to follow his Vernaccia, he will tell you that perfumes are everything … Great job Giorgio!
Your wines are a triumph of fruit and flowers, delicate aromas, cheerfulness and elegance.
Food pairing: excellent aperitif accompanied by finger food or snacks, bruschetta, pasta dishes, salads, chicken all fish, crustaceans, fried food and fresh cheeses.
LA VIGNETTE TOURAINE ROSE $18.99
Brilliant, salmon pink hue. Spicy nose of red currants, strawberries and raspberries.
Well balanced, lively yet supple and creamy on the palate.
LA VIDAUBANAISE COTES DE PROVENCE "LE PROVENCAL" $19.99
The refreshing character of Provençal rosé with its bright acidity and moderate level of alcohol make it the ideal partner to the simply prepared cuisine of the Mediterranean. La Vidaubanaise Cotes de Provence Le Provencal Rose offers inviting bouquet of red currants, strawberries and melon. At once delicate yet flavorful on the palate with a long, refreshing finish.
An ideal wine with lighter summer fare such as salads, pasta, grilled meats; exceptional with fish on the grill.
PUNSET, BARBERA D' ALBA $27.99
Punset is an innovator when it comes to organic wine. Inheriting the estate in 1982, Marina Marcarino is a fifth generation winemaker, and she took her estate to the future whilst preserving age-old traditions.
The grapes, cultivated according to organic farming methods, are carefully selected and harvested by hand, in perforated crates, and pressed, removing the stalks. In order to obtain a pleasant and harmonious wine, the harvest is delayed as much as possible. Fermentation takes place spontaneously with the help of indigenous yeasts.
After soft racking, malolactic fermentation concludes the wine-making process; the wine is aged in cement tanks for a few months, at least until the first warmth, when it is prepared for bottling.
The ruby red color accompanies pleasant aromas of red berry fruit, intense and harmonious.
The fruity aroma is also very evident on the palate, characterized by a not very intense acidity and a dry and clean finish.
The pleasantness of this product is given by its frankness and typicality, so evident also thanks to the total absence of wood.
CHIANTI RISERVA CASTELLI DI POPPIANO $24.99
The most representative wine of the Castello di Poppiano tradition, a selection of “Chianti Colli Fiorentini” of the best vintages, Riserva is matured in oak casks in the cellar of the Castle.
Dark ruby with slightly garnet hues, complex aromatic impact, full bodied with noticeable tannins, intense but subtle texture, well harmonized with a well tempered alcohol.
Pleasant, full balanced finish.
