Sorrentino 2009 Fior di Ginestre Passito 500ml White (Pompeiano)
- $28
Made with a blend of Falanghina and Coda di Volpe grapes, this amber-colored passito opens with aromas of white raisin, maple syrup, honey, toasted almond and sweet marzipan. It’s a creamy, rich wine that would pair with aged cheese or sweet desserts alike.

Sorrentino 2008 Don Paolo Aglianico (Pompeiano)
- $20
Don Paolo is a thick and richly layered wine that offers tones of dark chocolate, mature fruit, prune, blackberry preserves and rum cake. The mouthfeel is characterized by gritty tannins and jammy fruit power.

Sorrentino 2009 Versacrum Coda di Volpe (Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio)
- $18
This is a luminous, creamy expression of Coda di Volpe that delivers aromas of stone fruit, pineapple, apricot and yellow rose. The mouthfeel is short and compact, but it does show nice density while it lasts.

Sorrentino 2008 Vulcano Piedirosso (Pompeiano)
- $18
Vulcano, in homage to the might Mt. Vesuvius, opens with tight aromas of cola, blackberry, licorice and root beer. The wine is compact and linear with some sharp, brambly elements due to high acidity and tannins.

Sorrentino 2009 Versacrum Falanghina (Pompeiano)
- $15
You can’t beat the sense of history awarded by this tangy, crisp Falanghina. Fruit is farmed near the ancient city of Pompeii under the menacing shadow of Mt. Vesuvius. The result is a sharp, tonic wine with kiwi, lime and grapefruit aromas.

Sorrentino 2008 Natì Coda di Volpe (Pompeiano)
- Online Exclusive
This is an interesting, outright strange wine that opens with a full golden color and an aromatic veil of smoke, dust or chalky mineral over exotic fruit and peach. One item out of place is the alcohol, which emerges strong in the mouth.

Sorrentino 2009 Versacrum Gragnano (Penisola Sorrentina)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
Made with Gragnano grapes from sunny Sorrento, this sparkling red wine opens with aromas of dark chocolate, blackberry, smoked ham and Band-Aid. It’s a strange combination for a bubbly wine that sees firm tannins awkwardly placed within its creamy perlage.
