  • Veal saltimbocca
  • Spicy salami, mozzarella, and wild arugula pizza

This biodynamic Frappato, a variety native to Sicily, is absolute dynamite with deep brandied cherry aromas on the nose and a juicy, herbaceous rush of crushed red cherry fruit, rhubarb compote, and fennel seed in the mouth. Light bodied, but packed with flavor, this wine maintains amazing freshness from being fermented in amphorae and aged in stainless steel tanks instead of oak barrels.
