Wine Description
Es is named in honor of Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis. Translated from Italian, "Es" means the id, the psychological term for a component of the psyche. According to Sigmund Freud, "Es" is defined as instinct and wild passion; a passion which does not give into rules or compromises. Es submits to one principle only: pleasure. It is the expression of primal instinct into wine. Cultivated in the maritime Agro di Manduria to utilize its unique red soils, this wine is made from 100% Primitivo. The grapes are lightly dried while still on the vine and harvested by hand at the end of August.
Tasting Notes
Ruby-red in color with purple reflections, this wine has aromas of red fruit, pepper, sweet spices and cardamom.

There's balance between the ripeness, acidity, silky texture and peach notes in this delicate white, which has subtle length. That makes this inviting and enjoyable now, though it should improve over time. Drink now through 2022.
Bottle: $17.99 - Mixed Case Price: $15.29 
The story of "Il Poggio" is simply the transformation of a grandfather's relaxing pastime into a young woman's passion and lifework. This stunning Gavi is fragrant and fruity with nuances of apples and melon. Perfect accompaniment with all fish dishes, especially elegant preparations. Also perfect for pasta with seafood sauces, fried calamari and steamed clams. |

Summer Grilling: Rack of Lamb with Rosemary Butter
 "Chef David Kinch grills his lamb racks 'low and slow' because it gives him full control of the cooking. The gentle heat keeps the meat juicy, while the rosemary-infused butter he periodically spoons over the racks adds flavor. He sprinkles the lamb with chopped herbs just before serving; the warm meat makes the herbs especially fragrant."
Get the recipe here. For a decadent pairing, give this a try with the ES Primitivo (Italy's #1 wine!).
