 Just in time for summer, Our new Fiori! Available Now.
We are pleased to announce the release of our newest version of Fiori (translated from the Italian as Flowers), our only off-dry wine. This year, we decided to move away from the traditional off-dry white or rosé and make a red version. Off-dry reds are quite uncommon in Italy with the exception of two regions in the North where they make a wine called Lambrusco. Lambrusco is a wine many of us grew up with and is often made in a frizzante (soft bubbles) style, we decided to make ours a still wine. It’s a very unique wine that must be served quite chilled. We hope you enjoy it this summer starting this 4th of July weekend!
