It's an Italian Thanksgiving this year
at Monarch!

Thanksgiving has always been a day to feast, give thanks and toast alongside family and friends. The perfect day to eat, eat and eat some more! With thoughts of the upcoming meal in our heads, we pondered which country produces the greatest wines for the dinner table? ITALY!
This year, we're giving the tired old Thanksgiving pairings THE BOOT! Italian wines offer structure and a cleansing acidity which will keep your palate buoyant and refreshed throughout ones' extended seat at the table. Light enough to drink all day, yet bold enough in body to cut through even the richest stuffing.

We've even included Martha Stewart's Italian stuffing recipe to help you stay on theme this Italian Thanksgiving! Click this LINK!

Colombera & Garella 'Pizzaguerra' Piedmont 2015 - $48.99

Way up in Alto-Piemonte, Colombera & Garella are making some of the most exciting, elegant and beautiful wines in Italy. This Nebbiolo blend has all the complexity and depth of the more famous Barolo and Barbaresco, but none of the ultra tannic grip. Delicate, light, ethereal, and soft, it has bright red fruit with a mineral backbone and hints of spice. This is THE TURKEY WINE in the lineup.

Colleformica 'Formica Rossa' Lazio 2018 - $34.99

From Italy's most overlooked region, Lazio. Colleformica is a TINY operation consisting of two young men with a desire to, quite simply, showcase the beautiful wines of their homeland. This Sangiovese blew us away at first taste. Thirst quenching and oh-so-easy to drink. Earthy while at the same time juicy and clean. Your pre-meal Aperitivo, but also a bottle that will bring that Italian stuffing to new levels!

Dànilo Marcucci 'Monaco 'Rosso' Umbria 2018 - $36.99

Marcucci is 'The Yoda of Italian Natural Wine'. He's crafted this blend of Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo and Aleatico that is brimming with terroir and Umbrian personality. Fresh, bright blackberry and cranberry fruits mingle with dried herbs and lavender for a true Mediterranean stunner!

Franco Noussan, Torrette Superiur, Vallee d'Aoste 2013 - $27.99

Franco Noussan farms a small parcel in the heart of the Val d'Aosta. Only making about 1200 bottles, this blend of Petit Rouge and Fumin is straightforward and gulpable with spicy, funky flavors delivered with precision and grace. End your post-Thanksgiving feast on a lighter note.

Ampeleia 'Ampeleia' Tuscany 2015 - $34.99

As many of you know, Elisabetta has stolen our hearts. This wine is yet another example of her enormous talent. A side project for her, but by no means lacking in importance. This Cabernet Franc hails from the shores of Tuscany, hundreds of miles from her home in the Dolomites. Full of spicy, rich, dark berry fruit. For the many who appreciate a little richness on their table, this wine can't be beat.

Sesti 'Monteleccio' Tuscany 2016 - $28.99

From Astronomer to winemaker, Giuseppe Sesti is channeling the sun, moon and stars at his gorgeous Biodynamic estate in the heart of Montalcino. This excellent Sangiovese has all the elegance of a Brunello at an unbeatable price. Want to drink Brunello di Montalcino but not spend $100? This wine is for you!
