Sample Saturdays: Free Wine Tasting with Vincenzo Schiano of Impero Wines

Are you a lover of Italian wines? In addition to our complimentary daily wine tastings, join us every Saturday as we introduce new wines to you from all over Italy. You will taste up to 3 wines that we will choose to offer to "expand your palate" and we will share food pairing ideas too!

Vincenzo will be offering:

Campo Dottore Riesling DOC – 100% Riesling. Fruity when young. The bouquet becomes increasingly complex with ageing, showing the unmistakable aromas of the grape variety. Deft and fresh, with a long persistence. A wine with a distinctive personality. Ideal with seafood (specifically shellfish), white meat with creamy sauces and spaghetti with garlic, oil and red pepper.

Terre del Vulcano LAVA Aglianico Benevento - With its deep ruby color and complex bouquet of ripe berries, cherries, and spices, this wine is a true delight for the senses. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich, with a smooth and velvety texture that lingers long after the last sip.

Poggio le Volpi Roma Rosso – Montepulciano, Cesanese, Syrah. Deep bright ruby red. Intense on the nose with sensations of ripe red fruits, cherries in alcohol, red flower, everything enclosed in a very pleasant balsamic note. Very smooth in the mouth, pleasantly tannic, well balanced, elegant and very long in persistence.

Vite Colte La Gatta Moscato d'Asti- – Very sweet and lightly sparkling, with aromas of honeysuckle and white roses. Peach juice and lychee on the palate, with a mouthwatering lemony finish.
