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 selecon 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 es2maon), Biondi San2 Brunello and Bertani Amarone. As a special treat we also feature the big boys from Piemonte like Paolo Scavino, La Spinea, 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 creaons 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.
