Introducting our Fall Wine Special: Marchetti Rosso Conero
Marchetti Rosso Conero (“red from Mt. Conero”) is made from Montepulciano grapes in a small region near Mt. Conero in the Marche region of Italy’s east coast, near the Adriatic. The flavor profile is classic Montepulciano plum fruit with an overlay of spiciness. Lots of fresh fruitiness is balanced with a firm core, for… Learn More Introducting our Fall Wine Special: Marchetti Rosso Conero
Welcome Winter
I have to confess that winter is my favorite food time of the year. Not only do I get to indulge in our family’s traditional holiday dishes, but I also revisit all the hearty, stick-to-your-ribs pastas on the Pastini menu. Five Cheese Lasagna, check. Tortellini Gorgonzola, check. Spaghetti Carbonara, checkity-check. There’s something so satisfying about… Learn More Welcome Winter
Fall Wine Special: San Polo Rubio 2019
Our fall wine feature is really special… San Polo Rubio 2019 from the Montalcino region of Tuscany. It’s meant to drink young, with its bright, fresh flavors of raspberries and cherries, and a background of well-judged oak and a hint of spiciness. Here Sangiovese, the most important – and often a bit austere – grape… Learn More Fall Wine Special: San Polo Rubio 2019

Holiday Sipping
For the holidays this year, we’re pouring Italy’s most festive wine, Lambrusco (lam-BROOS-coh), which may surprise you… it’s a semi-sweet, sparkling red!

Seasonal Special: Chicken Cacciatore
Cacciatore means “hunter” in Italian, and it’s hunters who first ate this dish.

While there are nearly as many recipes… Learn More Seasonal Special: Chicken Cacciatore
