Nostrana utilizes
locally sourced and natural ingredients to create delicately crafted Italian
cuisine.
We’re proudly featuring seven Italian rosati on the list: fresh, vibrant expressions of indigenous varietals. Come taste the lighter side of Montepulciano, Nebbiolo, Gaglioppo and Lagrein.
New this week: Bastianich Refosco rosato. 100% Refosco, from Friuli. The bottling showcases plums and orange peel in the nose, with a touch of Refosco’s signature spice in the mouth. It’s delicious alongside a Charcuterie plate—the perfect patio sipper.
Come dine for a great cause! On Wednesday, June 24, Nostrana will join other Portland and Seattle restaurants in donating a portion of the evening’s proceeds to the Italian Earthquake Relief Fund. Locally, the event is being coordinated by Seattle based Caffé Vita, rooted in the efforts of the National Italian American Foundation. More information available at bignightforabruzzo.com.
From Caffé Vita: Proceeds will be given directly to Polisportiva Paganica Rugby and used to help rebuild the sports and recreation facility lost in the devastated town of Paganica, the epicenter of the earthquake. Currently, hundreds of displaced youth in Paganica and neighboring communities have no organized sports or facilities because of the destruction resulting from the earthquake.
