Staff Pick Notes

A noble dignitary once sang to me the praises of this wine. I finally took a bottle home. I tasted a soft, smooth, light-bodied, weekday red. The Buzios have been making wine in the Monferrato section of Piedmont for nearly two centuries. The chalky soils give the wine a distinct flinty minerality. Flavors of strawberry, white pepper, and a kiss of tannins will grace your palate. Best served around 48 degrees. Need something to sip on during an evening on the patio? Here’s your wine.

The red Freisa is vinified in a variety of styles:...

Grignolino

The Grignolino grape derives its name from grignole, meaning "pips." This small-berried red variety makes some truly intriguing wines, because the grapes produce very little juice in proportion to the amount of pips and skins. These elements, combined in these proportions, yield deliciously earthy wines that are pale in color (often resembling Beaujolais), and unexpectedly tannic.
