Friday’s tasting: Italian w**es with Le Storie 🇮🇹
Le Storie, which means “the stories” in Italian, is a local importer of hand-crafted w**es sourced throughout all regions of Italy.
Join us and our friend Jay from Le Storie this Friday as we travel through Italy, tasting each “story”, from soil to vine, from fruit to glass, learning about the w**e and w**emakers that make these small releases so exceptional. Arrivederci!
Jay will pour these w**es:
La Staffa W**ery - Le Marche
🍊Verdicchio Classico Superiore 2024
100% Verdicchio
Fresh and mouthwatering with notes of clementines, almond flowers, tart white peaches,, and a signature zippy, mineral-driven finish with bright acidity.
🫧Mai Sentito Marche Frizzante 2025
80% Verdicchio, 20% Trebbiano
‘Mai sentito’ means ‘unheard of,’ and this sparkling Verdicchio, bottled before the second fermentation is finished, is certainly the first of its type we’ve seen! Fresh and fun, with citrus notes and a pleasant fizz.
Castello di Montepo - Tuscany
🍒 Morellino di Scansano 2022
95% Sangiovese, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon
The w**e opens with fresh red berry fruit and an ethereal, floral lift that reflects the terroir. Sour cherry and a touch of spice carry through the palate, framed by balanced acidity and supple tannins that give it real drinkability without sacrificing structure
Venica & Venica - Friuli
💐Collio Pinot Grigio ‘Jesera’ 2024
100% Pinot Grigio
With a coppery hue, it opens with a refreshing bouquet of wildflowers, stones and nuances of ginger.. It’s soft-textured underscored by tactile mineral tones and a core of brisk acidity. This finishes long and perfumed, leaving a subtle grippiness with hints of Asian pear.
Ettore Germano - Piedmont
Langhe Nebbiolo 2024
🍇100% Nebbiolo
Aromas of violet, to***co and cinnamon carry you to a palate that is firm yet silky, with smooth tannins and a subtle astringency that leaves the palate clean and vibrant with a long and harmonious finish.
