We are so excited to make our first donation of $5,000 to the Independent Restaurant Coalition, an organization who is fighting to protect the jobs and incomes of over 11 million American restaurant workers. We will be making a weekly donation of 3% of our sales of selected wines from the Dalla Terra family of Italian wineries through the end of May.
Etna is arguably the “hottest” wine appellation in Italy right now and the wines made there from vineyards on the slopes of Europe’s tallest active volcano have been likened to the greats of Barolo and Burgundy. Join us for a conversation with Alberto Tasca, the 7th generation leader of the Tasca d’Almerita family of wineries as he discusses their newest endeavor on Mt. Etna, Tenuta Tascante, where they own and sustainably farm three of the great Crus of Etna – Pianodario, Rampante and Sciaranuova.
From a wine standpoint, Italy’s stunning Abruzzo region is synonymous with the country’s second most widely planted indigenous grape variety - Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. Due to large-scale investment in bulk wine production in the region, lower-quality Abruzzo wines proliferated the US market for decades. Join us for a conversation with Sabatino di Properzio from LA VALENTINA as we discuss the shift to “quality over quantity” ethos that’s taking hold in the region.
