2022 Feudi di San Gregorio Greco di Tufo, Campania, Italy $21.99
Feudi di San Gregorio’s Cutizzi is a single-vineyard Greco di Tufo from high-altitude volcanic soils in Campania. The 2021 vintage was fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve clarity and tension.
Bright and mineral-driven, it shows notes of green plum, citrus, and herbs with saline freshness. A precise, structured white from one of southern Italy’s benchmark estates.
"A svelte white, with juicy acidity well-meshed with a stony undertow and flavors of ripe yellow peach, lychee and star fruit. Delivers delicate hints of star anise, elderflower and raw almond." - Wine Spectator
2022 Feudi di San Gregorio Fiano, Campania, Italy $24.99
Feudi di San Gregorio's Fiano di Avellino is grown between 650-1,650ft above sea level in moderately deep, slight to moderately calcareous on the surface and calcareous at deeper lever soil. It is a true expression of this native grape that pairs well with shellfish and grilled seafood.
Lemons and yellow apples are on the nose with a distinct honey-nut element that evolves into cooked apples and toasted almonds on the palate, complemented by lemon curd and freshly squeezed lemon.
2024 Donnafugata "Anthilia" Bianco, Sicily, Italy $19.99
Anthìlia 2024 has a yellow straw color. The nose offers a fresh and fragrant bouquet with notes of white pulp fruit and zest of citrus combined with delicate hints of wild – flowers.
In the mouth the fruity notes are enhanced by a pronounced freshness and pleasant sapidity.
Lucido (synonym for Catarratto), the predominant variety; the blend is complemented by other international varieties.
Aging in tanks for at least two months and then at least two months in bottle before release.
The nose has energetic, sunny aromas of lemon, lime, white peaches, orange blossoms and crushed rock, while the palate stays warm, citrus and saline but with the fresh bite of Mediterranean herbs. You will (and should) feel virtuous with the ultrasustainable packaging, but beyond that, the light bottle and twist top make it an ideal companion for a day at the beach, where Sicilian whites shine.

2021 Alta Mora Rosso, Sicily, Italy $23.99
The 2021 Alta Mora Etna Rosso is a luminous red. Aromas of flinty red berries, red cherries and minerals have a bright floral overlay. Then very good inner-mouth perfume too, with exhilarating lift to the red fruit and stony flavors. The finish is long and clean, nicely framed by suave tannins and harmonious acidity.
Alta Mora Etna Rosso is 100% Nerello Mascalese grapes – which are indigenious to Sicily and the predominant red grape of Mt. Etna. Many wine enthusiasts compare this wine to a Nebbiolo or Pinot Noir. The deeply colored, thick-skinned grapes contribute gritty tannins and vibrant acidity.
2022 Donnafugata "Sedara" Rosso, Sicily, Italy $19.99
Ruby red in color with purple hues, Sedàra 2022 offers a fruity bouquet with hints of fresh red fruit – cherry, black cherry and plum –, and spicy notes of black pepper.
On the palate, it shows a good structure with soft tannins and a pleasant freshness and juiciness.
A pleasant red, versatile in food matching, a glass of quality, perfect for everyday drinking.
Nero d’Avola, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and other grapes
8 months in tanks and then for almost 6 months in the bottle.
NV Paolo Palumbo Rosso Vivace Sparkling Aglianico, Campania, Italy $16.99
Vivace means "lively" and this spritzy red lives up to its name. Its slightly sweet and very juicy with ripe cherry and raspberry flavors. The volcanic soil where the grapes are grown also gives it an underlying minerality for awesome complexity. If you like the traditional Lambrusco, this will be a pleasant step up.
