Caffo Sambuca Secolare
Aperitif Mavi-1L
Grapefruit aroma and citrus flavor in this liqueur. It's hard not to compare the lightly bitter flavor profile to the popular Campari, though this easy drinker is a little softer, lighter and sweeter, and has a light floral fade.
Caffo Red Bitter
Sweet and bitter oranges blended with an infusion made of several herbs and spices: juniper, rhubarb and gentian as the most recognizable. The distinctive, bitter flavor of the Calabrian Chinotto orange and cinchona can be easily recognized. Ideal for Negroni cocktail or spritz.

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.
Pasqua Romeo and Juliet Passimento Rosso 2019
A dense and deeply coloured wine, full of concentrated black and red cherry flavour, and hints of leather and spice. The palate has a layered texture, with muscular tannins providing a long finish.

Salami Chubs
3 Chub Deal
Pick any three of our individually packaged "chubs". Chubs come in standard sizes of 4.5-6oz depending on variety.
Chorizo
Classic flavors of smoked Spanish pimenton, Rioja wine, and garlic.
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
Snack Stick Mild 2PK
A great American take on the hunters salame of Italy, the snack stick was made to eat on the go. Based on a mild variation of our pepperoni recipe.2PK
Pimento Cheese Spread
A classic southern favorite with our Tempesta spin. We make ours with a mixture of cheddar cheeses and spicy Calabrian peppers!

3 Pack Hot Italian Sausage - 1lb
Italian sausage is made lovingly by Italian butchers for local families, and friends. We enjoy making this for our family, and share this in the same way as our ancestors always have, with our guests. We are not sure why you would buy Italian sausage from someone you don't know, who source it from a place they know nothing about. We make our sausage mix the way we enjoy it, with sweet floral aromatics of fennel and black pepper, and with the qualities only the finest heritage pork can exhibit.We are Calabrian, so we know how to do spicy as good as it gets.
