Wine and drinks
Italian wines on our list: from Barolo to Franciacorta
In short: Italy has hundreds of native grape varieties and every region has its own wines. Our wine list takes you from Piedmont to Apulia and Sardinia. Here is what ends up in your glass, and what to eat with it.
Red wines
- Barolo (Piedmont, Nebbiolo grape): powerful, with tannins, red fruit, roses and tar. A Barolo must age for at least 38 months before release. On our list: A. Oberto Barolo "del Comune di La Morra".
- Brunello di Montalcino (Tuscany, Sangiovese): elegant and deep, made from 100% Sangiovese around the town of Montalcino. On our list: Croce di Mezzo.
- Valpolicella Ripasso (Veneto, Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara): the wine is "re-passed" (ripasso) over the grape skins left from making Amarone, which makes it fuller and rounder. On our list: Agricola Cottini "Ripasso Superiore".
- Barbera d'Alba (Piedmont): juicy with fresh acidity, a versatile food wine. On our list: Pelassa "San Pancrazio".
- Montepulciano d'Abruzzo: supple and fruity. On our list: Torre Zambra "Valle Maris".
- Primitivo (Apulia): warm and ripe; genetically the same grape as the American Zinfandel. Our house red is a Primitivo.
White wines
- Arneis (Roero, Piedmont): fresh, with pear and almond. Pelassa "Roero San Vito".
- Vermentino di Sardegna: saline, citrus and herbs, ideal with fish and seafood. Antonella Corda.
- Pinot Grigio from Friuli: light and fresh. Villa Varda.
- Chardonnay from Friuli-Isonzo: full and complex. Vie di Romans.
Rosé and sparkling
- Rosato: our house rosé is a Negroamaro from Apulia, alongside the Torre Zambra "Incastro" from Abruzzo.
- Prosecco (Glera): fresh and fruity, made with a second fermentation in tank. Ronco Margherita.
- Franciacorta (Lombardy): top Italian sparkling wine made by the metodo classico, with a second fermentation in the bottle, like champagne. Bellavista "Alma" and "Grande Cuvée" Rosé.
