During my time in Tuscany I was inspired by the role of food in Italian culture. Food is a lifestyle in Tuscany; people know where their food comes from and how to prepare it. They seek comfort and quality in their food. I wanted to share that real food experience with Washington, D.C.

San Marco 2019
The Estate of San Marco is one of the largest and well-known producers of the Frascati style. Nestled in the foothills surrounding Rome, San Marco rests upon well-drained, mineral-rich volcanic soils. These ideal conditions create the perfect environment for this Trebbiano Malvasia blend. With a nose of fresh Granny Smith apples and a nice grapey undertone followed by distinct floral tones. Light on the pallet with a nice textured feel and a balance between soft fruit and crisp acidity.
