Transcription:

Welcome to one of the top Italian wine selec2ons on the planet! We are excited to share the journey with you as this list will take you all over Italy with the focus on Toscana and Piemonte. At Ferraro s we feel that the Nebbiolo varietal is the ul2mate expression of what wine should be, of course if it s tradi2onally made! Our Nebbiolo selec2on is impressive, possibly the finest in the United States and one of the top in the world. We are proud to represent the major players of Italy such as Emidio Pepe from Abbruzzo where tradi2onal method will never cease, Soldera Brunello (by far the best Brunello in our es2ma2on), Biondi San2 Brunello and Bertani Amarone. As a special treat we also feature the big boys from Piemonte like Paolo Scavino, La SpinePa, Bruno Giacosa, Giuseppe Mascarello, Bartolo Mascarello, VieT, Aldo Conterno and Luciano Sandrone. Some par2culars we recommend you make note of is the incredible collec2on of Angelo Gaja with over 40 selec2ons to choose from, and the ul2mate wine maker Giacomo Conterno s crea2ons with two spectacular Barolo s highlighted, Cascina Francia and Monfor2no which is possibly the best wine on the planet! We value the older tradi2onal winemaking processes and believe that French oak should stay in France. It is our firm belief that wines made in this fashion pair best with true Italian cuisine, which is simple, fresh and not over powered with garlic and other spices. As you peruse the menu you ll find these are the wines we highly recommend. Just like the wines, we let our food express the tradi5on and flavors of Italy. If you have any ques2ons regarding our wine list please don t hesitate to ask for our wine experts, Paolo Uccellatori or Gino Ferraro. It is our life long love and we are pleased to share it with you. Grazie & Salute, Gino Ferraro S C

BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO Brunello is the name of the local Sangiovese grape variety that is grown around the village of Montalcino. This clone of Sangiovese has a bigger berry and 1ghter cluster and is also known as Sangiovese Grosso. Located south of the Chian1 Classico zone, in the province of Siena, the Montalcino township range is drier and warmer than Chian1, yielding riper, bigger, and juicier wines. The Brunelllo clone of Sangiovese flourish in this terroir, ripening easily and producing consistently wines of lively garnet color, great extract, richness and full body with a good balance of tannins. Aged for 4 years prior to release and riserva, 5 years. 14 H AgosPna Pieri, 12.132. 48 C Altesino, 11... 165. 28 L Altesino, 12..182. 28 K Altesino, Montosoli, 08... 360. 24 KJ Argiano, 11... 165. 15 K Argiano, 12 116. 22 Q Biondi SanP, 01... 475. 22 AA Biondi SanP, Tenuta Greppo 06... 455. 22 Z Biondi SanP, Tenuta Greppo 07... 455. 22 Y Biondi SanP, Tenuta Greppo 08... 475. 17 G Brunelli, 10... 178. 43 DC Camigliano Gualto", Riserva, 01... 205. 14 L Camigliano, 11. 96. 22 H Capanna, 10... 138. 79 E Caparzo, La Casa, 79... 490. 24 I Caparzo, La Casa, 06... 295. 73 G Caparzo, Riserva, 07... 220. 25 M Caparzo, 11..128. 25 I Caparzo, 12..128. 78 D Casanova di Neri, White Label, 11... 164. 43 E Casanova di Neri, White Label, 12 178. 23 BB Casanova di Neri, Tenuta Nuova, 06..490. 12 I Casanova di Neri, Tenuta Nuova, 12..270. 22 J Castello Banfi, 10... 168. 21 G Castello Banfi, 12..168. 21 M Castello Banfi, Poggio all Oro, Riserva, 04... 395. 21 N Castello Banfi, Poggio all Oro, Riserva, 07.. 420. 21 L Castello Banfi, Poggio Alle Mura, Riserva 08... 345. 21 K Castello Banfi, Poggio Alle Mura, 10... 215. 21 JI Castello Banfi, Poggio Alle Mura, 11...198. 21 H Castello Banfi, Poggio Alle Mura, 12 198. 30

VINI ROSSI di TOSCANA AND SUPER TUSCANS The Sangiovese grape is Tuscany s most prominent varietal, although many different clones exist. In the 1970 s, a new class of wines known in the trade as Super Tuscans emerged, launching this region at the forefront of the great wine-making areas of the world. Although an extraordinary amount of wines claim to be the first Supertuscan, most agree that this credit belongs to Sassicaia, the brainchild of Marchese Mario Incisa who planted Cabernet Sauvignon at his Tenuta San Guido estate in Bolgheri in 1944. The innova1ve decision to plant this variety was partly due to the similarity he had noted between Tuscan terrain and that of Graves in Bordeaux. Super Tuscans are essen1ally a Bordeaux blend, a combina1on of varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, and Merlot.
