LIOTRO, INZOLIA 2022, SICILY, ITALY $14.99 Liotro is produced in cooperation with Baglio Curatolo Arini. The story of this winery begins in 1875 when a young Vito Curatolo Arini decided to build a winery at the center of his vineyards in Marsala. Each generation has added a new chapter to the Curatolo Arini story by continuing this proud tradition. For more than 135 years the family’s enthusiasm, passion and commitment to making fine wines have never lessened. This white offering, made from 100% Inzolia grapes, is light green in color. The wine has a typical fruity bouquet with delicate floral notes. It has a keen, fresh taste and it is an excellent companion for fish and seafood-based dishes.
MARINE DUBARD, ‘COEUR DU MONT’ SAUVIGNON BLANC 2022, SOUTHWEST FRANCE $15.99 (MIXED) This offering from Marine Dubard displays all of the characteristics we come to expect from top tier Sauvignon Blanc: pure citrus, framed by a distinct saline or flinty minerality. It is a combination that can only come from the magical combination of Sauvignon Blanc grown on limestone, which Marine is fortunate to have in abundance on the rolling hillsides that surround her estate. Always a meticulous farmer, Marine’s commitment to vine health was recently recognized by the French government with HEV (high environmental value) certification. Aromas and flavors of lemon, lime zest and oyster shell, with a subtle ginger note. An elegant combination of silky texture and tensile minerality.
LAURENT PERRACHON, BEAUJOLAIS BLANC 2022, BURGUNDY, FRANCE $17.99 The Perrachon family has been involved in the wine trade since 1601. Today, the fifth (Martine and Laurent) and sixth (Maxime and Adrien) generation run the domaine, which started producing estate wines in 1877. Unexpected and delicious, Beaujolais Blanc wine is becoming increasingly popular. Made from the Chardonnay grape, known locally as the "Perle Blanche" (white pearl), grown in clay and limestone soils; fermented in stainless steel and aged in tank for six months. Mid-gold in color; enticing aromas of freshly baked apples, key lime, white flowers and brown butter plume from the glass. On the palate, flavors of Bartlett pear, Golden Delicious apple, walnuts and pie crust are wound around a tight mineral core. Lovely energy and lift on the finish. Enjoy this with brined and grilled turkey breasts alongside blistered green beans.
‘PETITE BOURGEOIS’ ROSE OF PINOT NOIR 2023, LOIRE VALLEY, FRANCE $16.99 (MIXED) The Pinot Noir vines are grown on the clay and limestone hillsides of the Loire Valley, a noble region known as the "Garden of France”. The Loire Valley, with its castles and gardens, provides quantity and quality thanks to its exceptional climate and ideal temperatures. This wine is a ‘direct press’ rose, i.e. it was made as a rose from start to finish, which sounds normal, until you learn that most rosés are made by ‘bleeding’ a red wine when it’s half way done, usually resulting in a more flat and uninteresting product. A bright, pale pink in the glass, the nose is replete with red currants and rose petals, on the palate it is incredibly bright and crisp with a slight mineral finish.
LAETARE, PINOT GRIGIO 2022, FRIULI, ITALY $18.99 Third generation vigneron Francesco Dissegna proudly carries on the hard work and commitment to sustainability made by his father and grandfather. His vines are planted in calcareous clay soils and enjoy a climate influenced by the nearby Adriatic Sea. In the vineyards, no herbicides or pesticides are used. The use of only natural plant-based products maintains and enriches the health of the soil, leading to vines that are more resilient in the face of disease or drought. Light straw-yellow wine with a light, pleasant aroma. Dry and lean, full-bodied and harmonious, with a distinct aftertaste.
MONTE TONDO, GARGANEGA FRIZZANTE N.V., VERONA, ITALY $14.99 (MIXED) Monte Tondo is regularly recognized as one of the top producers in all of Soave. From the same hillside cru used to produce their Soave Classico comes this fun ‘frizzante’ or ‘semi-sparkler’ that is light, zippy, and truly delicious, with aromas of citrus, pear blossom, and sea salt – all lifted by a gentle spritz. An intelligent, mineral-driven alternative to Prosecco, at a compelling price. Perfect chilled, patio side with some antipasti and your favorite summertime sporting event.
