What is a Cru? A vineyard of recognized quality usually vinified on its own.
Why Formati Importanti? In Italy, large formats are aptly called Formati Importanti since ‘Important’ wines are typically bottled in larger formats to allow for slow, graceful aging. Formati Importanti take more time to develop and can be enjoyed longer than a standard wine bottle.
What a Value! The wines featured at Cru Night are typically upwards of $100 on a wine list and are RARELY offered by the glass. So tonight, please toast to a taste of something truly special!
