2014 Castellucci Miano ‘Miano’ Catarratto Sicily, Italy
$20 bottle
Catarratto is an indigenous grape, cultivated in Sicily for thousands of years. This is a wine for both dry-white and sweet-wine drinkers. Even though this wine is considered dry, there are notable fruit notes that will please everyone. |
| 2013 Castellucci Miano Nero d’Avola Sicily, Italy
$19 bottle
One of the best Nero d'Avola wines in Sicily. The factors that make a superior wine couldn't be better: The high altitude, with its combination of hot sun and cool mountain breeze, produces one of the most pleasing aromas in the Nero d'Avola world. Easy to drink and no burning. It's a dry red wine, but at the same time, you will notice hints of berries and dark fruit. A perfectly balanced and structured wine, you will spend your evening full of pleasing surprises as its flavors reveal themselves. |
| 2011 Castellucci Miano Perricone Sicily, Italy
$25 bottle Hints of dried fruit, both red and dark are meshed together in such a way, that its flavor is hard to describe. It’s unique. It’s beautiful. Exudes complex aroma. At first notice, there is more dried red fruit than dark. As the wine begins to open up, there is a surprise of cacao from the 10 months that it rested in French oak barrels. The cacao is just strong enough to make its presence known. Its dry full body, smoothness, and mysterious finish demands an accompanied meal that is fatty and savory. There’s a masterful balance of persistent light tannins, with the type of acidic liveliness that makes Italian wines the most exciting in the world.

2014 Biocantina Giannattasio Bombino Bianco Puglia, Italy
$18 bottle
Bombino Bianco is the white wine treasure of the Puglia region in Italy. It’s a treasure because it’s one of the few native white grapes in the region. The Pugliese region is the “heel” of the “Italian Boot.” This Bombino Bianco by Biocantina Giannattasio is a certified organic white wine. The Giannattasio family has been growing Bomino Bianco grapes for decades. MariaElena Giannattasio with her two siblings inherited the land from their mother and carried on the tradition of authentic Pugliese wine made with 100% pure Bombino Bianco grapes from a small vineyard. The location of the vineyard is positioned in a perfect place to allow sun exposure from both the North and South which allows the grapes to reach complete maturity.
The aroma permeates a refreshing zest and stoned fruit. The first touch to the mouth is welcoming and soft. The texture is buttery and polished, indicating a wine that is both translucent and pure. This wine has body and medium weight to it. On the mid palate, it emits a savory quality. The finish is long and concentrated for a dry white wine. Lemon juice lingers and fades as white peach notes escalate. The climax is reached with a vibrant minerality. The nuances of this single varietal wine reveal a subtle complexity that makes it both an authentic Pugliese wine and a work of art.
Bombino Bianco is easy to pair food with. In particular, finger foods, appetizers, fried calamari, shrimp, clams, white fish, pastas with a garlic and olive oil base, rice dishes like risotto, green vegetables, chicken, and salmon.
