Wine Selection - California
San Pietro is the name of our ancestor's town in Italy. This wine is an exceptional blend of three red varietals - Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot and has its roots in the evolution of those wines known as the Super Tuscans. This vintage is a medium-bodied dry red wine with a vibrant dark red color, a smooth clean finish, with hints of cherry and oak. This wine pairs well with Pasta, Veal, Pork, Beef, and Lamb.

2007 Chilean Vino D’AnaThe flagship blend of our winery. It is a classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with exceptional balance, beautiful color and a graceful finish. Vino D’Ana, as with all of our wines, is lightly-oaked to be fruit forward with softer tannins and a buttery smoothness on the palate. It is a full-bodied, dry red wine with vanilla and berry flavors. Vino D’Ana pairs well with spicy dishes, meats, and robust cheeses. Vino D’Ana was named after our winemaker’s sister – Diana, who jokingly suggested the name and we seriously loved it. |

Wine Selection - Italian
Frascati Italian White WineIn keeping with its mission to source high quality grapes from the top growing regions from around the world, we are please to announce that we will be importing white wine grapes directly from Italy this fall to make an old world and delicious blend known as Frascati. Frascati is a fruity golden white Italian wine from the region of Frascati in the hillsides just outside of Rome. Frascati is a blend made from Trebbiano and Malvasia Bianca grapes and has Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) status. This wine, which is known throughout the world and is the standard-bearer of the wines of Rome, is produced in the communal territories of Frascati, Grottaferrata and Monteporzio Catone. The district is the "agro tuscolano" or countryside of the ancient, pre-Roman city of Tusculum. It is perhaps the most extensively cited wine in Italian literature. In a sense, Gioacchino Belli, a poet of the last century who wrote in the Roman dialect, Romanesco, spoke for all other literary admirers of the wine when he wrote: "E' bono asciutto, dorce, tonnarello solo e cor pane in zuppa, e si a sincero te se confa' a lo stomico e ar cervello..." All Roman legends, literature and popular traditions concerning wine begin and end with Frascati, which is surely one of the best known, most celebrated and mythologized wines in the world. The list of tributes and citations is so long that it puts the literature of other wines to shame. Frascati's greatest accomplishment may be the lasting effect it has had on the customs of a city that has always been at the center of the world and of the fascination it has exerted over Rome's innumerable visitors. The city's famous taverns--there were already 1,022 in 1450--were nearly all owned by producers of Frascati wine, who leased them out under contracts resembling the modern franchising agreements of bar, restaurant and fastfood chains. It is perhaps that commercial aspect that constitutes the current limit on Frascati, a wine that is appreciated and distributed throughout the world but that the consumer often acquires for emotional reasons rather than through an appreciation of its real qualities. 1 |
