FEATURED WINES

(PLEASE CHOOSE ONE)

ANTINORI CASTELLO DELLA SALA BRAMITO CHARDONNAY
This white wine is bright yellow in color with greenish highlights. Complex and fresh on the nose, the wine offers delicate aromas of tropical fruit, pineapple and citrus that blend with sensations of hazelnut butter and vanilla. The palate has excellent structure, elegant and mineral.

ANTINORI “LA BRACCESCA” VINO NOBILE DI MONTEPULCIANO
An intense ruby red in color, the wine offers fruity aromas with violet and vanilla notes. On the palate, this red wine is ripe, supple and balanced with tannins supported by a vein of acidity that bring out flavors of dark red berry fruit. The wine is persistent and mineral with a lengthy finish.
