Cara Mia NV IGT Spumante, Italy
This sparkler is a blend of pinot bianco and prosecco grapes. It offers honeysuckle aromas, amid the bursting bubbles. Sweet, yet savory with distinct green apple tones and ginger root spice. It is fresh, yet rich and complex, with nuances of allspice and minerals. Worth having an extra on hand.

Cara Mia 2007 Pinot Grigio, IGT, Delle Venezie, Italy
Aromas similar to green olives and cherry blossoms escape from the glass. The palate is slightly creamy and a touch chalky, offering flavors of pear and apple. Fresh and thirst quenching, its finish offers a flirty tone of honeysuckle.

Cara Mia 2007 Pinot Noir, Proincia di Pavia, IGT, Italy
Cranberry aromas greet the nose. The wine offers flavors of strawberry, red raspberry, lavender, and spring rain. Smoldering density on the mid-palate offers hints of smoke and tar and a distinct, focused black cherry note. This pinot noir is balanced, with soft tannins and a complementary level of acidity to its perfumy canvas. Persistent spicy finish. Let it breathe to enjoy its complexity.
