Cascina Boschetti Gomba – Barolo Sori DOCG
Nebbiolo is the star variety of northern Italy's Piedmont region. Nebbiolo is an elegant variety with mouthwatering acidity and a compelling perfume of rose petals, violets, fresh tar, licorice, clay, and dried cherries. Light in color and body, Nebbiolo is a more powerful win than one might expect. Its firm tannins typically need time to mellow. With age, it develops a velvety texture and a stunningly complex bouquet.

Cascina Boschetti Gomba – Roero Arneis DOCG
Seashells and sand are key to Roero Arneis. The best Roero Arneis wines taste like white melon generously sprinkled with sea salt. It's a nice combination: you get the fruit up front, but the saltiness makes it a great food wine and fresh in the summer. Roero is just across the Tanaro River from Barolo and was underwater 70,000 years ago lending the perfect soil to produce Barolo quality white varietals.

Casteggio Sangue di Giuda
The name Sangue di Giuda or Judah's blood comes from it's deep ruby red color, with purple hues just like blood. Legend says, after Judah’s betrayal and hanging, Jesus forgave him and allowed Judah to come back on earth, specifically in the area of Oltrepo’ by the town of Broni. When the local farmers recognized him, they wanted to kill him, but they spared him when he helped to heal their vines that had been affected by a disease. In return, they named the grape after him. Another explanation is that this wine is a "traitor" because it is so delicious that you can get tempted without much effort.
Intense ruby red color with characteristic perfume aromas of cherry and more specifically of bing cherry. Fizzy, sweet and fruity taste.

Catan Pisco
Woman owned, Chicago owned!
The fruit forward and citrus aromas capture the organic purities of the hand-picked Pedro Ximénez Grapes, and the meticulous double distillation process yields the smoothing progression as was intended by the copper stills. The traditional Chilean flavors are then distinguished towards the finish, as the stone characteristics are noted which derive from the natural irrigation produced by that rainfall that is gifted from the Andes to the vines.

Chasing Harvest ‘Via Rock and Stone’ Tinto Douro DOC
This wine is sourced from wines 50 - 60 year old vines from the single Quinta da Costa vineyard. A careful determination was made to harvest select sections of Touriga Nacional (31%), Tinta Roriz (39%), and Touriga Franca (30%). The wine fermented naturally in a traditional stone lagar and treaded by foot.
The wine was then aged in a combination of neutral barrel and stainless steel tank to preserve varietal and Douro character. ‘Via Rock and Stone’ reflects the two defining features of this wine, the vines grow in schist rock soil and then is fermented in a traditional granite stone lager. The wine expresses aromas of dark fruits, blackberries and violets with richness, good acidity and a lingering finish.
