Pitars 2004 Naos Red (Venezia Giulia)
- $35
This is a bold, oak-aged blend of Refosco, Merlot and Cabernet Franc with intense aromas of exotic spice, toasted wood, leather and tobacco. The wine has a rich, dark color and its thick concentration is evident on the palate, where you will taste smoke, black fruit, clove and crushed black pepper.

Pitars 2006 Pinot Nero (Friuli Grave)
- $16
Black pepper and nutmeg shadings frame a solid core of wild berry, white cherry, violet and raspberry. This well priced wine is light and tonic in the mouth and delivers delicate layers of berries and pressed flowers backed by soft tannins and well-integrated acidity.

Pitars 2008 Chardonnay (Friuli Grave)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
This is a full and generously aromatic Chardonnay with ripe tones of passion fruit, melon, peach and lemon zest. There’s a nice mineral tone at the back and the wine is firm and crisp in the mouth—great price point too.

Pitars 2007 Refosco (Friuli Grave)
- $14
Here’s a pretty expression of Refosco with easy but clean aromas of wild berries, blueberry and light spice. The wine is bright, lean and compact and would pair well with informal meals of pasta and pizza.

Pitars 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Friuli Grave)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
This is an elegantly streamlined Cabernet Sauvignon from Northeast Italy that is not exaggerated in any way (including price). You’ll get pleasant doses of blackberry, moist earth, green spice and characteristic green pepper aromas over a lean and tight mouthfeel. The wine is bright and crisp on the finish.

Pitars 2007 Merlot (Friuli Grave)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
This is a pleasantly aromatic wine with medium intensity and tones of blackberry, cherry, spice and leather. The wine is soft and round and ends with a blast of cherry cola.

Pitars 2009 Pinot Grigio (Friuli Grave)
- $14
This is a bright and luminous Pinot Grigio with loads of lemon zest, stone fruit and grapefruit aromas. Friuli white wines are characterized by nice smoothness on the palate and this wine definitely shows that quality.

Pitars NV Pitars Extra Dry Prosecco (Prosecco del Veneto)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
This luminous non-DOC Prosecco opens with bright floral notes of white flower and rose backed by sweet pear and white peach. The wine offers creamy foam and a thick, sweet impression in the mouth backed by just the right measure of cooling acidity.
