Scarpetta

Two Denver restauranteurs started this brand when they noticed how much quality wine was being produced (but not distributed) out of Northern Italy. The brand produces quality-driven, everyday wines with a purpose of exposing Americans to traditional winemaking with a modern flare.

Scarpetta Frico Sangiovese

Pinot Grigio sourced from the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of Italy.


What was once the dream of two Denver restauranteurs is now a company that makes some of the most approachable Italian wines on the market. This one, in particular, has a crisp minerality with a bright acidity and body that it owes to using grapes from both the Grave and Colli Orientali regions. It’s great on its own, but pairs well with grilled fish.
