Published February 17, 2012 2010 Vintage , Medium-bodied , On Sale , Pear , White Wine , Wine Leave a Comment

“Adriatico” is a unique collaboration spanning borders of three nations, uniting a common passion for 3 indigenous varieties that find their maximum expression at the northern tip of the Adriatic Sea.

Friulano is the most typical white wine in Friuli, the northeastern region of Italy. it is an indigenous grape variety grown in Friuli for hundreds of years. The Bastianich Friulano is produced in the Colli Orientali area of Friuli, an area known for its unique terroir and where world-class white wines of Italy are produced.

From the Wine Maker – “A typical Friulano, which expresses the history and terroir of Friuli. Medium bodied with ripe, luscious pear flavors carried by a refreshing mineral flavor and zesty, mouth-watering acidity.”

A classic match with prosciutto. Also try this great white with seafood and fish, pork and Asian/spicy dishes.

2010 Rapido Sangiovese Puglia

Published September 2, 2011 2010 Vintage , Fruit , Medium-bodied , Plum , Spicy , Vanilla , Wine Leave a Comment

A medium bodied, everyday drinking red with aromas of red berry and damson fruit. Fresh and lively on the palate with ripe berry fruit balanced by tangy acidity and soft ripe tannins leading to a warm, spicy finish. A seriously good wine that is all things Italian – made from Sangiovese grapes from selected vineyards in Puglia, southern Italy (known as the ‘heel’ of Italy).

From the Wine Maker – “A terrific everyday drinking red with aromas of red berry and plum. A very concentrated and intense ruby-red color. Fresh and lively on the palate with juicy berry fruit and a hint of spiciness, balanced by tangy acidity and soft ripe tannins. Intense aromas with touches of wild berries, hints of spices and vanilla undertones. Dense, rounded decisive flavor and excellent persistence.”

Pairs well with hamburgers, spaghetti and meatballs, grilled pork tenderloin, chili and aged cheeses.
