Chardonnay, Jean-Philippe Marchand ‘Sous Le Chateau’, Saint-Romain, Burgundy 2018 73 N
ambro: macerated & orange
-An ancient technique for producing wine dating back to 3000 BC, white grapes are left in contact with their skins for an extended period of time
resulting in a fuller, more tannic, & pleasantly unusual wine with an amber hue. While this wine, modernly known as ‘orange wine’, took on great
popularity in the Friuli region of Italy where producers such as Josko Gravner and Radikon embraced the historic style, it has now spread
throughout the world’s wine producing regions.

Giampiero Bea, they produce this unique wine. The Bianco is complex with an oxidative quality that blankets layers of minerals, nuttiness and
acidity & a dry palate with flavors of apple pie, toasted pecans, honey, and citrus.
Zibibbo, Cantine Barbera ‘Ammàno’, Sicilia 2015 60 N/W*
-Intense bouquet of orange blossoms plays with apricot notes and all savory spectrum of the Mediterranean shrub: thyme, marjoram, oregano
and a hint of incense. Dry and full on the palate with a saline finish.
Grecanico Dorato, COS ‘Pithos Bianco’, Sicilia 2014/2015 60 N*
-Mineral-laden, fresh, and layered, this wine explodes with juicy orchard & citrus fruits, complemented by exotic saffron, green tea, wildflowers,
& fresh cut herbs. This mono-varietal Grecanico ferments with natural yeasts and ages in amphorae for about 7 months before bottling, resulting
in a complex, nutty, powerful wine that is food friendly & fascinating.
Chenin Blanc, Nicolas Joly, Les Vieux Clos, Savennières, Loire 2013 75 N*

minerality & flavors of baked apple & spice. A bright acidity balances the rich texture. Decant this wine.

a sprinkling of dried flowers and a dash of warm baking spices.
Trebbiano Spoletino, Paolo Bea ‘Lapideus’, Umbria 2016 100 N*
-Arising from a cooler microclimate than the ‘Arboreus’, ‘Lapideus’ spent 35 days on its skins, followed by 210 days on the gross
lees. Edgy and lively, exhibiting exotic and savory nuance, notes of apricots, cloves, and candied ginger.
Ribolla Gialla, Gravner, Friuli-Venezia Giulia 2007 130 N*
-From Josko Gravner, the visionary maverick “King of Friulian Wines”, this wine is probably on every wine geek’s bucket list. The grapes are
fermented in Georgian amphorae buried underground for long maceration with wild yeasts and no temperature control. After fermentation the
wine rests in amphorae for five more months and then it is aged in large oak barrels for an additional six years and bottled without fining or
filtering. Delivers dried apricot, orange zest, salinity, anise, dried herbs, nuts, and a blast of smoky minerality. Complex and tannic.
