What's in a name? That which we call..


A glass of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo makes for quite a metaphorical night. Makes sense that this appreciated wine from Southern Italy is featured at a place with a name that can hold it's own. Besides Ciano sharing the same nome as the Italian Minister, the taste of this deep purple glass engulfs you in the same flavor aroma the brick wall restaurant intends: soft flavors, strong color, gentle tannins. No doubt, this Flatiron tavern charm has Shea Gallante's time at Cru to thank. You don't have to be a vintner to leave craving this tantalizing sweet young blend of chassis.
