Saturday Tasting Series: 2–5 PM 🍷

Stop by Manhattan Wine Company this Saturday for a free pour of two producers we absolutely love.

The Details:

Bussoletti
   2024 Trebbiano Spoletino Colle Murello, Umbria - 12 btls @ $27.99/btl ($25.19 with case discount)
Leonardo Bussoletti produces this wine near the medieval hilltop town of Narni, operating as a certified organic estate dedicated to promoting indigenous regional varieties. The vines are situated at 230 meters above sea level on clay and calcareous soils, with the fruit sourced from plants averaging roughly seven to ten years of age. In the glass, the wine displays a round and supple texture, offering clear notes of citrus, melon, and savory herbal undertones. The 2024 vintage maintained the estate's commitment to freshness, resulting in a balanced expression with a distinct mineral tension. This bottle is ready to enjoy tonight and serves as an accessible introduction to the unique character of this underappreciated Umbrian variety.

Azores Wine Co.
   2019 Isabella a Proibida - 12 btls @ $38/btl ($34.20 with case discount)
The Azores Wine Company is based on Pico Island, where they work to reclaim and revitalize the archipelago’s historic, UNESCO-protected vineyard plots. This wine is made from the Isabella grape, a resilient hybrid variety that was historically significant in the region but is now restricted under many European quality designations. It presents as a light-bodied, lively red with pronounced acidity and distinctive notes of sour cherry, wild berries, and a firm, saline minerality. The 2019 vintage provided a stable growing season, allowing for the clear expression of the fruit’s unique, wild character without over-ripeness. This is a ready-to-enjoy bottle that offers a direct, refreshing glimpse into the volcanic terroir of the Azores.
