ITALY
Italy! What a wonderful country. Only in Italy you can find so many grapes varietals not found in any
other part of the world. Some of the Italian grapes grow only in that specific region or town and can’t be
grown anywhere else. You can have Cabernet from California, Australia or France but you can’t find a
Pecorino grape outside of Abruzzo region or a Grillo grape outside of Sicily. Italy is without a doubt
unique for the production of wine. All the love I have for the Italian grapes is shown on this list. Going
through the list you will see a selection of quality wines that Italy can offer and I hope you will enjoy
them all. Salute!
The Wine Director
The first Italian wines showed in these pages are from the northern Italian regions. It then
moves to central Italy and into southern Italy. Lastly are wines from the two main islands,
Sardegna and Sicily.

PIEMONTE
Piemonte is one the most famous Italian regions for the production of some of the best Italian
wines. Thanks to the producer, Angelo Gaja, wines from this region have made history in the
world of wine. The wines from Oddero, historic name among Barolo producers, are a great
introduction to this region.

Elegant with its refined bouquet and palate, and assertive tannins. Red in colour with
pale garnet tinges. Particular finesse in the bouquet, with balance and complexity, scents
of ripe red fruit, spices and violets (typical of Nebbiolo). Mouth-filling tannins, excellent
persistence on the palate.

VENETO
Veneto, another great region that represents Italian wines at their very best. Amarone wines are
definitely the highlight in this region. La Formica is the producer to try to familiarize yourself
with all this region has to offer. They make an excellent Soave, Valpolicella Superiore, Valpolicella
Superiore Ripasso and of course a great Amarone.

TOSCANA
Tuscany! I’m a lover of wines from this region. It’s not a coincidence then that I am presenting
more wines from this region than from any other regions on the list. Tuscan wines are primarily
made with Sangiovese grapes. Sangiovese is an impressive grape that changes according to
the place where it grows: Brunello, made of Sangiovese Grosso found in Montalcino, Sangiovese
used for Chianti, Prugnolo Gentile, which is a clone of Sangiovese used for the Vino Nobile
di Montepulciano, and Super Tuscan made with 100% Sangiovese. Wouldn’t you be impressed
by such an extraordinary grape? I recommend the wines from Carpineta Fontalpino which
are among the best of their kind: Chianti, Chianti Colli Senesi, and Super Tuscan.
Villa Le Prata is a great producer of Brunello di Montalcino and it is a must try.

An attractive, mid-weight offering laced with perfumed red cherries, spices, tobacco and underbrush.
The aromas and flavors come together quite nicely in this understated, elegant Brunello. The wine gains
pretty inner sweetness with time in the glass, while fine, silky tannins caress the palate on the finish.

Super Tuscan
Super Tuscan? What does it really mean? Marchesi Incisa della Rocchetta made, for the first
time, a wine that was considered out of the ordinary, SASSICAIA, the first Super Tuscan. From
that point on every time a producer made a wine that was different from the regular Tuscan
wines, people liked to call the wine a Super Tuscan; different from a Brunello, Chianti, or Vino
Nobile. Super Tuscan can be made with several grape varietals or with only Sangiovese grapes.
A great example of a Super Tuscan is the great Chianti Colli Senesi from Carpineta Fontalpino
made with only Sangiovese grapes. This producer also features other great Super Tuscans: Do Ut
Des and Dofana.

A rush of jammy dark berries is the first sensation that emerges from the 2005 50 & 50 a blend
of Merlot and Sangiovese made in partnership with Avignonesi. The 50 & 50 shows a bit more
accessibility and sheer plumpness than the decidedly structured Solare. New leather, spices,
chocolate, espresso and toasted French oak add complexity to this juicy, full-throttle red.

MARCHE
Marche features the great wines of Fontezoppa. This producer works with indigenous
grape varietals. The whole line is impressive but the unusual grapes, like the Vernaccia
Nera, believed to be the Italian clone of the Grenache, is the one you will want to discover.

The wine is aged for 120 months: 24 of which in casks, 24 in new smaller casks of 5 different oak
varieties and 72 months in the bottle. The colour is bright ruby red, lively and deep with garnet
nuances. Persistent, ample and complex fragrances express hints of fruit, spices and flowers to
the nose. To the palate,the wine is immediately powerful and at the same time delicate; rich and
with a long-lasting, intriguing and original. The aftertaste denotes olfactory harmonies on jam
tones. That wine flavour complexity is an invitation to repeat the tasting.The pleasant softness
and the richness of tannins make it as theideal wine to combine with truffle and mushroom first
courses, red meat, game, ripe cheese and charcuterie.

Pietracupa Greco di Tufo is one of the greatest Italian white wines and one of the

Fiano di Avellino, Pietracupa, 2012
In contrast to the Greco, the Fiano offers a more robust and expansive nose with

mineral digression. A substantial and aristocratic palate with a marked acidity and
a vein of citrus that echoes throughout the fine, long and slightly almond finish.

The Best Producer of Grappa/Brandy
now available at Facci Ristorante
The roots of Distilleria Marzadro date back as far as 1949 in Brancolino di Nogaredo, in the heart of Vallagarina, in Trentino, Italy. It is a
suggestive land, furrowed with vineyards carefully “cultivated” throughout the generations that climb up towards the peeks of the mountains,
starting at the bottom of the valley dotted by fruit trees. A pioneer start, characterized by tenacity, self-will and many promises, kept
throughout the years. Attilio Marzadro is the protagonist of this story, together with his sister Sabina. He understood how to cultivate his land
to its best in order to obtain, from his vineyards, the pomace more suitable for the distillation of Grappas, becoming the “proprietor” of this
centurial art. Attilio Marzadro grew up in the mountains, and wanted to pass on to his children this precious inheritance made up not only of
intuition, enthusiasm and passion but also of wisdom, experience and a deep love for the land and its culture. The Marzadro family, now
extended to three generations, kept its traditional inheritance intact with great commitment and professionalism, while seeking constant
innovation. Behind this romantic aspect of recuperating and maintaining old traditions, Marzadro is in fact a dynamic company, continually up
to date and evolving in order to exploit its potentials to a maximum as concerns preservation of the environment, while absolutely respecting
the quality of the raw materials and processing systems.
Grappa del Fondatore (White: Moscato & Chardonnay. Red: Teroldego, Marzemini & Merlot)
1.35oz (4cl)
$9
A grappa distilled in the year 1995 when the founder, grandpa Attilio, used to personally choose the marc, looking for first quality stuff, and
carefully attend to the distillation process. The secret of this grappa is in its precious taste, with all the flavours and scents of renowned marcs
from Trentine black doc grapes.
Le Diciotto Lune (White: Moscato, Chardonnay, Muller Thurgau. Red: Teroldego, Cabernet, Marzemino)
1.35oz (4cl)
$10
This is an aged, high quality Grappa, which is emblematic of the culture, care and art of distilling. It is produced from the best marc of Trent,
from selected vines, and distilled in the typical still. The Grappa is left to refine for over two years in small cherry, ash, oak and robinia casks,
each of which lends its characteristic perfume, aroma, colour and flavour. Aging follows nature’s rhythms. Sowly, through time, the wood and
Grappa evolve to create full harmony, while the final blend is expressed in the ethereal perfume and the round taste, with a hint of vanilla. Le
Diciotto Lune is a high-profile Grappa, which suggests a variety of different situations for consumption, as an ideal opportunity to stress
important and pleasant events.
Le Giare Amarone (Red: Rondinella, Corvina, Molinara)
1.35oz (4cl)
$12
A precious Grappa aged for 36 months in small oak casks. Rich and intense taste providing silky-smooth, long-lasting and pleasingly enveloping
sensations. Marzadro dedicates “Giare” to commemorate the women who had suffered pain and injustice by being accused of sorcery in the
Giare locality, in the province of Nogaredo, around 1646.
