What I’ve decided to do for our May wine tasting is feature a quartet of wines and let you taste them side by side, so you can explore what they’re all about—and walk away with your own thoughts on these categories.

A Trio of Italian STANDOUTS
DATE: Sunday, July 19th
TIME: 4:30pm
PRICE: $65 ++
Please email jenny@serahonolulu.com for reservations.
On this night, we will taste wines from 3 “game changing” red wine vignaiolo. Each of their wines are unlike anything grown anywhere else. It’s not only about and capturing the character of old vines & exceptional terroirs. It really is how masterful the winemaking is too—managing acids and tannins, without compromising grit and soul in the finished wine. Yes, these three are truly superb and memorable bottlings. Please enjoy.
The night’s line-up.
2020 Terre Nere Etna Rosso “Moganazzi Volte Sciara”
Many have repeatedly and aptly questioned if these sheer, savory reds are more akin to Burgundy or Italy? Etna is an active volcano on the eastern side of Sicily. It rises to over 11,000 feet in elevation and is largely made up of young volcanic soils—basaltic sand, volcanic ash & pumice, just to name 3. The combination of high elevation—2300 to nearly 2500 feet—the soils, the unique & native Nerello Mascalese grape variety, 40-100 year old vines and the Burgundian Cru inspired/ minded winemaking of Terre Nere result in, without a doubt, some very special red wine.
2021 Giulia Negri Barolo “Serendenari”
Nicknamed the BaroloGirl is the winemaking phenom/ superstar of Barolo currently. The combination of the highest elevation vineyards in all of Barolo, the unique soils, being part of a “living” forest and her sensitive, civil & nurturing, quite Burgundian inspired approach to winemaking produce such intentionally incredibly lighter colored, enticingly fragrant, very elegant & refined Baroli. Her wines are truly like no other.
2016 ArPePe Valtellina Superiore Grumello Riserva “Buon Consiglio”
ArPePe was truly a wine altering experience from vineyards, grape growing, winemaking and an incredibly detailed vision and approach to their whole realm. I don’t recall ever experiencing such a comprehensive and thorough vision to growing and making wine. Their wines are so hauntingly ethereal, mineral driven, focused on character done with grit and class. Here is a single vineyard 2016 Riserva just to show you why they are the top of the class.
