 La Dolce Vita is Back!
Saturday, February 11 | 1:00pm - 3:00pm
After a nearly five-year absence our wildly popular Moscato style sparking sweet wine is back. Made in the classic Northern Italian style around the Asti region, the floral aromatic profile is supported by acidity and sparkling bubbles to keep the wine refreshening yet sweet. Please join Jay Raffaldini at the Villa on Saturday, February 11th for a complimentary sample of this delicious wine. No RSVPs are required.

Raffaldini Wines Now Available Across NC
 After nearly two decades of having Raffaldini wines available exclusively at the Villa we have found a wholesale distribution firm that targets wine shops and restaurants rather than mass supermarket, etc. We sought to build connections with independent retailers and restaurateurs so we can still tell our story to the sales outlet and build on the connection that we have with all of you. To begin, we agreed to have two value-based wines (Bella Misto and Bianco) as well as higher end (Vermentino Superiore and Montepulciano Riserva) available for sale.
To locate a store near you, simply go to raffaldini.com then hover your mouse over shop on the header. When the drop down menu appears, click "Find Raffaldini Wines" at the bottom of the list. Once on the Raffaldini Store Locator, you can use the drop down to search by type or location or type in your zip code and search a radius for outlets near you. If you don’t see your favorite wine shop listed please email me directly at jay@raffaldini.com and I will work with our wholesale partner to get them in the store near you.
