Martin Ulisse Malvasia
| Malvasia |
Reminiscent of sauvignon blanc or pinot grigio, the Malvasia is medium bodied off dry white with great balance and a touch of acidity. The initial taste is resplendent of white flowers and rounds out with citrus and grapefruit with a fresh and crisp finish. This wine is easy to drink while retaining a surprising complexity and complements all kinds of seafood. Featured Recipe Pairing -Pasta Salad with Artichoke Hearts

Martin Ulisse Signature
| Signature |
Similar to a Cabernet, this Old World Montepulciano is a traditional Italian classic. Aged for over a year in French barriques, this sophisticated full bodied red has a strong fruit presence of spicy, black plum and red cherry. Hints of leather, tobacco and pepper lend balance and a velvety smooth finish. Pairs well with red meats, pasta, strong cheese, desserts or even a fine cigar.

Did You Know?
Plato argued that the minimum drinking age should be 18, and then wine in moderation may be tasted until 31. When a man reaches 40, he may drink as much as he wants to cure the "crabbedness of old age.
