REFRESHING WINES WITH CHARACTER from Fruili-Venezia-Giuilacastelvecchio hill

NEW! CASTELVECCHIO 2007 WHITES — VINTAGES EXCLUSIVE!
A trio of customer favorites from northeastern Italy on the Slovenian border town of Gorizia. These wines are very expressive and distinctive with a spicy, mineral note on the finish from the “karst” soil and climate of this Carso appellation. Worth investigating –definitely a cut above! (These wines were featured at the Belmont store tasting last Friday.)

2007 CASTELVECCHIO Carso Pinot Grigio $19.99
Richer style of Pinot Grigio with underlying minerality and a spicy note. A Pinot Grigio with oomph!

2007 CASTELVECCHIO Traminer Aromatico $19.99
Lovely aromas of pear, honey and rose petals burst out of the glass, followed by a delicate, blossoming fruit on the palate. Intriguing, elegant, wonderful aperitif!

2007 CASTELVECCHIO Malvasia Istriana $19.99
From 100% Malvasia, aromas of honeycomb on the nose, waxy, sappy fruit; very lively personality. A nice complement to Asian flavors, seafood pastas, and lighter dishes.
