Linda will be tasting some of the favorite wines from Marche, Abuzzo, Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany!

Luciano Landi Terre del 91 Verdicchio Dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore – 100% Verdicchio. Straw yellow color. Intense aroma of persistent fresh fruit. Equipped with great structure and excellent balance. Excellent combination with appetizers and roasted fish.

Podere della Torre Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo Rosé – 100% Montepulciano. The nose is expressed with notes of cherry and bread crust. Fresh to the taste, soft, with a good consistency and savory. The olfactory characters return to the aftertaste and a pleasant almond note on the finish.

Casalone Lambrusco – Very earthy and smoke driven on the nose with hints of plum and dark cherry. Very subtle sparkling Lambrusco with light-medium body. More so dark fruit on the palate with the earthy tastes and hints of smoke.

Poggio del Concone Super Tuscan – 75% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet and 10% Merlot. 98 POINTS Luca Marone! 30% of the batch is barrel aged for three months, followed by two months in bottle. Aromas of blackberry and fresh plums, cherries, currants and a hint of licorice. The fruity notes are accompanied by a pronounced acidity. Mouth-filling and fresh, with polished tannins and a warm, long finish. Pair with grilled red meat, pork ribs, leg of lamb and juicy burgers
