Whether your customers are relaxing on the patio, gathering for backyard dinners, or enjoying happy hour with friends, these refreshing Italian favorites are made for warm afternoons and long evenings. From crisp whites and lively bubbles to refreshing aperitifs and sweet sippers, these bottles practically come with a sunset.


🥂 Pop the Bubbles

BatĂ­so NV Prosecco DOC Brut Contemporaneo

Bright, fresh, and endlessly drinkable, BatĂ­so Prosecco delivers lively bubbles with crisp citrus, green apple, and delicate floral notes. Its clean, refreshing finish makes it an easy choice for celebrations, brunches, patios, and everyday sipping.

Enrico Prosecco

Every patio deserves Prosecco, and Enrico delivers classic Italian sparkle at an approachable price. Awarded 97 Points at the San Francisco International Wine Competition and named a Wine Enthusiast Best Buy, it’s a standout value that’s as impressive as it is refreshing. Even better, Enrico is also available in convenient mini bottles, making it perfect for picnics, hotel minibars, by-the-glass programs, gift baskets, and grab-and-go displays.


🍋 Crisp Whites for Sunny Days

Tenuta Santa Maria Soave Lepiga 2024

90 Points, James Suckling

Made from the classic Garganega grape, this Soave is fresh, vibrant, and beautifully balanced with bright citrus, delicate floral notes, and refreshing minerality. It’s a natural partner for seafood, salads, light pasta dishes, and afternoons that stretch well into the evening.

Villa San Martino Pinot Grigio 2024

Everything customers expect from a great Italian Pinot Grigio. Fresh fruit flavors are balanced by subtle hints of toasted bread and nuts, creating a smooth, versatile wine that pairs effortlessly with grilled chicken, seafood, fresh vegetables, or simply a sunny patio.


🍑 Sweet Finish

Borgo Maragliano La Caliera Moscato d’Asti

This high-altitude Moscato is rich, velvety, and wonderfully aromatic. Expect an intense bouquet of candied fruit, acacia blossom, and a distinctive violet note layered over delicate musky aromas. Lightly sparkling and naturally low in alcohol, it’s perfect alongside fresh fruit, desserts, brunch, or simply enjoyed on its own.


🍊 Aperitivo Hour Starts Here

Mezzodi L’Aperitivo Italiano Liqueur
I’m in the mood for Mezzodi.

Italy’s aperitivo tradition comes alive in every pour. Crafted with premium herbs and juicy Italian citrus, Mezzodi offers vibrant orange flavors layered with white tea, red berries, honeysuckle, cacao, gentian, and a touch of cinchona. Naturally colored and incredibly versatile, it’s the perfect foundation for spritzes, Negroni variations, or creative summer cocktails.
