We’re excited to share that Doladira has officially landed at S*M Selections!!

Doladira is a rhubarb aperitivo from the Italian Alps, made with plum, gentian, elderflower, pine, and a touch of rosemary. It’s fresh, herbaceous, and beautifully balanced — bitter, bright, and just a little savory. The vibrant pink color comes naturally from rhubarb and black carrot, with no artificial additives.

🥕 Naturally red from rhubarb & black carrot
🍃 All-natural alpine ingredients
✨ 60% less sugar than other leading aperitivi
🧊 Great on the rocks or in a spritz

A true taste of the Alps, bottled in Burgundy, and now available through us. We’re proud to represent in Colorado.

Salute! 🥂

A terrified young boy from Firth, Idaho, burst into tears, in video captured by his mother, after learning that President Donald Trump was real.

One of our favorite features of great Italian restaurants is the Amaro Cart. Rolling up to your table after a fabulous meal to offer one last temptation to cap the night, a bevy of unique herbal concoctions to settle the stomach and reinvigorate an inquisitive palate. And now we find ourselves living the dream of having our own version of the Amaro Cart, with over a dozen examples of digestivi from all over Italy! Rumbling through the dining room of Colorado. Call the cart over to your table, pick a few to try, and reawaken your palate and its delight in the flavors of the Italian wilds!

We’re thrilled to welcome Lucrezia Carrega Malabaila, the 65th generation of her family to lead Malabaila, one of Roero’s most historic estates, back to Colorado October 11–15!

Join us at one of several events to meet Lucrezia and taste her elegant, terroir-driven wines. 🍷✨ Links for reservations in bio.

Events:
📍 Sat 10/11 — Tasting
📍 Sun 10/12 — Wine Dinner, Risica Pop-Up in Klee House
📍 Mon 10/13 — Wine Dinner
📍 Tues 10/14 — BTG Takeover .alberico
📍 Wed 10/15 — Wine Dinner

Since the 1980s, Malabaila has blended tradition and innovation—aging wines in castle cellars, later moving to a modern underground winery built into a hillside for perfect conditions. Today, Lucrezia and Valerio Falletti carry on that vision with low-impact farming across Roero’s fossil-rich sandy soils, crafting Arneis, Nebbiolo, Barbera, and more.

Don’t miss this rare chance to experience the wines and story of Malabaila firsthand!
