SPORTELLO / PRIVATE EVENTS INFORMATION WINE / AMARI PROGRAM

The carefully curated wine list, created by James Beard Award-winning Wine Director Cat Silirie, is comprised of incredibly food-friendly, artisanal Italian wines that complement the cuisine, offer great value, and capture the casual, fun spirit of Sportello. To accomplish this, Cat searched for interesting and delicious wines from her favorite regions of Italy that would pair well with the trattoria-inspired dishes on Sportello’s menu. The result is a collection that represents the diverse regions of Italy, from the light bodied, aromatic wines of the North, to the sunny, full-bodied wines of the South, and the earthy, rus- tic, medium-bodied wines of Central Italy, all supremely drinkable and food friendly. Sportello’s culture of food and wine - which is built on our appreciation of Italian region- ality, ritual, and community - has grown to include a few of Italy’s most classic and most interesting Amari. A class of Italian liqueurs typically enjoyed before or after a meal (aperitivo/digestivo), Amari (or bitters) have been used as a remedy and health tonic for thousands of years to aid digestion and stimulate the appetite. In keeping with Sportello’s commitment to authenticity in food & wine served with top-notch quality and execution, our Amari selection showcases the won- derful regionality and diversity of these liqueurs. We love inviting out guests to enjoy them in traditional Italian style: as an intro or conclusion to a great meal.
