Portlandia Pinot Noir

Winemakers notes: Bright aromas of ripe strawberry and raspberry open up on the nose along with a hint of cedar. Vibrant flavors of red cherry and cranberry follow, accompanied by accents of black tea and thy me, with a dash of pink peppercorn. Fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity provide structure and balance through the lingering finish.

Finocchiona

The finest salami in the world! At least, according to the Specialty Food Association! We won the highest prize in gourmet food with this fennel pollen salame. This is our ode to the famous fennel salame of Tuscany. Sweet anise aromatics, combined with black pepper and Chianti Wine, give finocchiona power and balance.

$13.20

Manzo

Not everyone loves pork, who knew? Well, we decided that should not mean compromising flavor. This is one of our most popular salami! Zero pork ...even the casing is made from beef. Wagyu beef plus Cabernet wine, black pepper and thyme round out the flavors of this unique and sumptuous salame! ...btw, "Manzo" means "Beef" in Italian

$15.60

Nduja

Tempesta is the leader in authentic 'nduja production outside Calabria. No wonder, our salumeria was founded with the name "Nduja Artisans". We are the same people making the same great products, founded on this singular product our family has been making for 5 generations. Spicy spreadable salami, simply made with salt, family farmed, heritage pork, and Calabrian chilies. Great on a crostini, or simply mixed into pasta, or with roasted vegetables will wow your guests with REAL southern Italian.

$13.20

Nostrano

This salame, made with pink peppercorns, Chianti wine and garlic, is our own creation, hense the name "Nostrano" meaning "Our own" in Italian. Pink peppercorns bring a light floral aromatic to Nostrano, distinguishing it as an option for lighter fare, lighter pairings and an irresistible lightness of being!

$13.20

Sopressata

This classic large grind salame illustrates the flavor of our family farmed heritage Berkshire pork. With nothing to hide behind, but Tellicherry peppercorns, this classic large grind salame illustrates elegance in simplicity.

$13.20

Tartufo

Tuscany is known for producing both black and white truffles and we are happy to partner with our friends at Savini Tartufi in Tuscany to feature their black truffles and truffle salt in our Tartufo salame. we aren't fans of many truffle products because the strong essence of artificial truffle-like oils overpowers quality products.
