Ottomani Winery
Ottomani was started in 2006 by four friends who met studying oenology at the University of Florence. Post graduation and various jobs later, they found a dream farm for sale in Chianti Colli Fiorentini D.O.C.G. Today the four friends live and work together on the 100% self-sustaining farm. The farm is solar powered, has a water well, various livestock, an abundant vegetable & herb garden, and a vineyard and olive tree orchard.
2020 Ottomani Tuscan Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
This olive oil is from Impruneta & Greve in Chianti, an area just 9 miles south of Florence and traditionally known as the best region for Tuscan olive oil production. It is a blend of 40% Moraiolo, 40% Frantoio, 15% Leccino, 5% Coreggiolo; all native Tuscan varieties. The olives are hand-harvested in small baskets and pressed off within 12 hours of being picked.
Organic/biodynamic farming practices, hand-harvested, and native yeast fermentation.
Ciao Pappy Marinara alla Pappy Sauce
In 2021, Francesca Pittaluga and her husband Matthew started Ciao Pappy with the vision to be a staple in your pantry and play a small role in creating lifetime memories. Francesca’s father (Pappy) is Italian and growing up Italian-American meant that good food and a lively dinner table was the heartbeat of their family. When it came to cooking, Pappy always said that a well tasting Italian meal only needs a few, fresh, quality ingredients. His kitchen rules inspired their products to be made with local, fresh, and quality ingredients.
Ingredients: whole tomatoes, onions, garlic, herbs, salt, red pepper, extra virgin olive oil, sugar, cream
Semolina Artisanal Pasta Organic Rigatoni
Leah Ferrazzani’s handmade pasta is a chef favorite and is served at top-tier L.A. restaurants like Nancy Silverton’s Osteria Mozza, Ted Hopson’s The Bellwether, and Jackson Kalb’s Jame Enoteca. This traditional, slow-dried, full-flavored, certified organic durum semolina rigatoni is delizioso with all’amatriciana sauce or in Arden’s Rigatoni alla Cauliflower.

2022 Hirsch ‘Hirschvergnugen’ Gruner Veltliner
$24.00Whether new to Gruner Veltliner or a longtime fan of the grape, this exquisite expression from Hirsch promises to please. Hailing from Austria’s famed Kamptal region, fruit for this wine is grown in calcareous and loamy soils, which is responsible for the structured, mineral-driven backbone of the wine (AKA, what we love about it so much!) This our go-to with sushi. It also pairs well with Thai food or anything with a little spice.
Organic and biodynamically-farmed vineyards, family-owned estate, slow fermented with native yeasts, and vinified entirely in steel.
