Italian Wines

Virtually all of the major wine producing regions of Western Europe today were established by the Romans. Wine making technology improved considerably during the time of the Roman Empire. Many grape varieties and cultivation techniques were known. Barrels were developed for storing and shipping wine. Bottles were used for the first time and the early developments of an appellation system formed as certain regions gained reputations for fine wine.

Cafe Italia restaurant is proud to carry a vast array of wines.

LUMEN IGT

This is Illuminati's "Superbruzzo", known as "Lumen". Lumen was conceived by Dino Illuminati and the eminent enologist, Dott. Marone, assistant to the famous enologist Dott. Giamoco Tachis, to serve as a vehicle to show how red wine from Abruzzo can achieve a world class status.

ANGELO SASSETTI MONTALCINO

In Tuscany, on the northern flank of the hilltop town of Montalcino, lies the Pertimali estate. The most important factor in the excellence achieved by Angelo Sassetti with his Rosso & Brunello di Montalcino is his total dedication to every stage of his wines from his hand care of his vineyards, to his total involvement in each of the procedures in his cellars. That is why his vineyards think of him as Angelo " the angel" Sassetti.

CHIANTI CLASSICO

A blend of San Giovese grapes, Cimino and Trebbiano, dry and very Italian. The grapes are hand harvested, fermented, and gently pressed to produce the traditional hand-made wines that the Losi's are famous for, characterized by their intense intriguing richness and spicy aromas.

CHIANTI COLLI SENSI DOCG & RISERVA DOCG

DOLCETTO D'ALBA

Dark ruby color. Cherry-berry fruit and mixed-spice aromas, nutmeg and cloves. Bright, juicy fruit flavor, ripe and tart, the kind of wine you can either gulp or contemplate.

AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA

Amarone della Valpolicella, or Amarone for short, is created in the Venitian region of Italy. Originally there was only one legal region, or DOC, for the Valpolicella name. These wines are made with the Corvina Veronese, Rondinella and Molinara grapes. Two sub- groups emerged, though - recioto, which is a sweet dessert wine, and amarone, which is a dry red wine with great body.
