We are very excited to have our first wines on their way to Northern California. The wines are being loaded on the container ship, SCT Zurich, as I write this article; and the ship will depart the Port of Livorno, Italy, on February 28th. The SCT Zurich is expected to arrive in New York on March 17th. After clearing customs, the wine will be transported by refrigerated truck to our warehouse in Santa Rosa. We are looking forward to celebrating the arrival of our first shipment!
Eight wines from two producers in the Veneto are included in this shipment. We are excited to offer you three different Prosecco wines from Paolo Zucchetto--a Brut, an Extra Dry, and the famed Cartizze. We are also very excited to introduce for the first time in the US, five Valpolicella wines from winemaker Fabio Corsi at LeMarognole--Valpolicella Classico, Ripasso, Amarone, Recioto, and the "El Nane" Rosso Verona. These are fabulously rich and complex Valpolicella wines! Click on "Our Wines" at the top navigation bar to read about each wine.
Since we focus on small producers, this shipment will consist of very limited quantities.
