Featured Wines:
Cantina Zaccagnini Blanc de Blancs – $13 Glass / $48 Bottle
Abruzzo, Italy
Most famous for their “stick wine” Montepulciano, Zaccagnini brings that same dedication to this elegant sparkling wine. Crafted from 100% white grapes, it features a fine perlage with vibrant notes of citrus, green apple, and white flowers. It is fresh, lively, and exceptionally clean on the finish.
- The Pairing: Start your evening with our Fritto Misto (lightly fried calamari and shrimp). The wine’s crisp acidity and bubbles cut perfectly through the savory fried seafood and the tangy cherry pepper sauce.
Villa Puccini Pinot Grigio – $14 Glass / $51 Bottle
Veneto, Italy
A textbook expression of Northern Italian Pinot Grigio, the Villa Puccini is straw-yellow with delicate green tints. You’ll find a balanced bouquet of ripe peach and golden apple, offering a palate that is harmonious and refreshing. It’s an easy-drinking white that captures the breezy essence of the Veneto.
- The Pairing: This is a natural match for our Principessa Pinsa. The wine’s delicate fruit notes beautifully complement the creamy bechamel, sweet pears, and salty prosciutto on this specialty Roman-style pizza.
Smith & Hook Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon – $16 Glass / $59 Bottle
Paso Robles, California
Moving to the rugged Central Coast of California, this Reserve Cabernet is bold, structured, and deeply concentrated. Expect rich aromas of dark cherries, cassis, and a hint of cedar. The palate is lush with flavors of blackberry and dark chocolate, supported by polished tannins and a long, succulent finish.
- The Pairing: This powerful Cabernet demands a hearty dish. We recommend pairing it with our Lamb Shank or the Lasagna Tradizionale. The wine’s deep fruit and structure stand up perfectly to the rich beef and pork ragu or the tender, slow-cooked lamb.
