We’re pouring some fabulous imported wines this week. Come try these delicious and unusual wines!

SCHWARZBOCK GRUNER VELTLINER
Gruner Veltliner is considered the signature grape of Austria and creates crisp, mineral driven whites. Notes of gravel and flint and backed up with citrus zest and fresh green grass. A light, playfully refreshing wine, this is a great companion for seafood and poultry.

RIVETTO BARBERA D’ALBA
Pleasant and versatile, Barbera often goes unappreciated as a serious wine, although it is the most widely planted grape in the Piedmont. Bright, tart cherry and cranberry fruit is underlined by a warm dustiness. A clean acidity and easy-going tannins makes this your go to for any weekday night and an easy companion to nearly any food.

CASTELFEDER BREITBACHER
Made from the Schiavia varietal, this is a brilliantly colored, light-bodied red wine. The palate presents wild berry fruit and delicate violet notes with a lingering toasted almond finish. Easy drinking with fresh acidity and light tannins, mix it up with this enjoyable and unusual grape.

PALAZZO DE LA TORRE
This fabulous Allegrini wine uses the appassimento method, where grapes are dried on mats before being pressed and fermented. The use of these dehyrated grapes results in juice that in increasingly concentrated, with a rich almost syrupy texture. Cherries, blackberries and dried figs mingle with warm baking spice notes and round polished tannins linger into a concentrated finish.
