Updated Wine List!

May 12th, 2011

We've updated the wine cellar at Cafe di Scala. We'd love to help you choose a wine that's right for you.

We have a few new wines on our wine list and we’ve updated our descriptions of each.  Take a minute to browse through our list and let us know if you have any suggestions or questions. We’d be happy to help you navigate our world of Italian wine.

We’ve added a few spectacular wines on our by the glass lists: A gorgeous white (Pecorino) from Abruzzo, a silky, spicy red (Aglianco) from Campania, a petite red  treasure (Valpolicella DOC) from the Veneto region and a new Grappa (Barbera) from the northern stretches of Piedmont. On our reserve list you will find a few more unique whites (just in time for the warm patio weather) from the North East and some new expressions of the native Sicilian Nero D’Avola grape.
