Gourmet Updates
It’s your last week to grab one of Chef Serenity’s weekly specials!! Don’t worry though, specials will be resuming in the new year.

We still have a few soups stocked in the freezer, but you won’t see a new special until January.

We’ve got you covered on all fronts, host/hostess gifts, appetizers and cheeseboards to share, cocktail napkins and plates, and of course everyone’s favorite - Melody’s Torta! And Call us today to pre-order! Or you can submit a pre-order request through our website at https://www.piazzadiscepoli.com/preorder.
We create hand-crafted, custom charcuterie and cheese boards for all occasions and any number of people. Order by emailing Serenity using the link below, giving us a call at 513-561-6956, or stopping in the shop.
Wines
A tribute to the masters of tradition, Albe is the sum of high-elevation estate vineyards that lay on different slopes, thus they have the chance to see three sunrises (Albe) each day. Albe has an amazing scent of macerated Nebbiolo pomace, cranberries, and raspberries. Infused rose petals, sweet red fruits, and a hint of black figs complete its wide and elegant bouquet. So authentic and expressive, it beautifully celebrates the maturity of these vineyards and wine. Albe is a pure tribute to Barolo di Barolo and to the amazing craft of combining vineyards. This year it was awarded the number eight spot on Wine Spectator’s coveted list of 2024 top ten wines.
The Vajra family has farmed Bricco delle Viole, the highest cru in Comune di Barolo, since the 1880s. At the young age of fifteen, Aldo Vajra embraced the dream to revive his family legacy. Displaying a vision and commitment belying his young age he took over the estate in 1968, turning a new page. Industrious young Aldo soon acquired the first organic certification of the region in 1971, he created private biotype selections (selezioni massali) of Nebbiolo and Dolcetto, pioneered the renaissance of Freisa, a noble yet forgotten local grape, in 1980 and the cultivation of Rhine Riesling in Piemonte in 1985. Today, the family has 40 hectares under vine. The estate is steeped in tradition. Barolos are macerated for 20 to 30 days depending on the vintage. Wines are typically matured in large neutral Slavonian casks. The holdings in Bricco delle Viole are the prized vineyards of the estate, planted in 1949 by Aldo’s grandfather. It’s a very fresh terroir with open exposure and breezy conditions. Holdings in Barolo commune are: Fossati, Coste de Vergne and La Volta. Recently acquired vineyards in the commune of Sino (just outside Barolo DOCG, next to Serralunga) make a gorgeous Langhe Nebbiolo. High-elevation vineyards are a unique factor in Vajra wines, allowing them to express finesse and remarkable complexity over simple power. Attention to detail, humility toward nature, uncompromised efforts, and humanity are the ideals of the Vajra family: Aldo and Milena, now joined by their children Giuseppe, Francesca, and Isidoro, and by an amazing team of young professionals. G.D. Vajra is an independent winery, entirely family-owned.
