Terrabianca, Favorita "Quattro 20" Langhe Bianco, Piemonte, Italy 2020
(organic} 100% Favorita (Vermentino) HONEYSUCKLE, TART GREEN APPLES, TOASTED WALNUTS Giorgio Alpiste names his wines after the parcel of land on which the grapes are grown. In the case of "Quattro 20 (Venti)" (or "four winds”), his Favorita vines flourish on the sandy, south-facing slopes of his family's farm in the Piemonte, where refracted sunlight from the Ligurian Sea accentuates the grape's natural minerality and slightly sharp acidic finish. This makes it a fantastic wine to pair with rich cheeses and buttery pasta dishes. Serving Suggestions: Tajarin (hearty egg yolk pasta) w/ butter, sage, & white truffles. Baked trout w/ lemon butter & tarragon. Falafel.9 in stock

Terrabianca, Metodo Classico Extra Brut "Alta Langa", Piemonte, Italy 2016
(organic} 100% Chardonnay DRY YET RICH, SLIGHTLY SAVORY. APPLE, PEAR & LEMON Alta Langa is known as “The Champagne from Langhe” for good reason: it was the first sparkling wine made in Italy, as early as the 1850’s, copying the French classic method used to produce Champagne, and in everything but the name (and price!) is quintessentially Champenoise. An enthusiastic plume of bubbles and aromas of crusty bread lead into flavors of citrus and orchard fruits, finishing with a delicate savoriness and palate-cleansing acidity. Serving Suggestion: Tuna tartare w/ potato chips. Nori popcorn. Chicken & risotto croquettes. Crab & shallot quiche. Truffle macaroni & cheese.22 in stock

Terrabianca, Moscato Passito "Carlottin" [375 ml], Piemonte, Italy 2004
100% Moscato CANDIED ORANGE PEEL & APRICOT, SWEET & MUSKY The Moscato grapes in this lusciously complex dessert wines are covered and left in dry, windy places around the property to gradually wither and raisin up. The sugar ratio goes through the roof and the grapes take on natural musk, so we end up with silky sweet and intensely flavored passito that seems to float over the tongue. Serving Suggestions: Flan or custard, strong runny cheeses, bowls of ripe fruit.30 in stock
