Thom, grazie mille. Maybe we’ll get NC distribution one of these days. FYI: from September we’ll be offering a really lovely spumante of 100% Chardonnay from I Stefanini. I call it the “Prosecco killer” because, unlike Prosecco, it has a precise, crisp flavor and will cost no more than a mid-priced Prosecco. (Charmat method of course.)

FK
When I visited family and friends in NY/NJ in Apr I had the pleasure of buying a btl of the Il Selese. I have had many many btls of Soave and have found all lacking. i Stefanini was a revelation! It just goes to show that even Soave, when done correctly, can offer a worthy experience. My friend, who doesn’t tend to like whites, was equally impressed.
Strappo of Domenico Selections has shown a keen eye in finding Italian wines of value and substance. Look for that imported by “Domenico Selections” as a sign of quality AND value.
Salute Strappo and I look for to trying the other 2 FK.

Thanks for such a positive review. Maybe someone will be inspired to distribute the wines in a few other parts of the country.
