City Vino Zoom Wine Tasting of Italian Small Vineyards Discovery

Description

At City Vino, we have always had the philosophy of stocking wines that you will not find at the “big box” wine stores. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that type of store, however, there are many fantastic wineries and wines that they won’t carry due to small(ish) production. This is the area where City Vino thrives. We look for things that are unique, such as single estate, picked by hand, sustainably farmed, artisanal production, soil-to-bottle production, or family-operated. We’ve asked our vendors to seek out these often-overlooked wines, and they have responded! So, this month, City Vino will be hosting Chris Halferty, our vendor from The Robins Cellars. Come and join us as Chris presents these three exclusive, Italian wines made by Small Vineyards Discovery. Monte Tondo Frizzante Corvina Rosato Veneto IGT Italy 2020 100% Corvina. Salmon Pink in color. Nose of dusty raspberry and pencil lead. The palate is straightforward and fruity, with ripe raspberry, green strawberry, and a pleasant, balanced finish. The light frizzante touch Poderi Elia Dolcetto d'Alba DOC Italy 2020 100% Dolcetto. Ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas of violets, dark cherry and red plum.
