We wanted to highlight one of our go to reds on the Lé Fresca wine list.

CAMPOFIORIN
Rosso del Veronese IGT
Full bodied, smooth and velvety, but approachable and versatile in its food pairings. Combines simplicity with style, strength and majesty.

This is the original Supervenetian created by Masi in 1964 and internationally recognised as a wine of “stupendous body and complexity”, the prototype for a new category of wines from the Veneto inspired by the Amarone production method (Burton Anderson). Its own production method was described by Hugh Johnson as “an ingenious technique”.

Grape varieties: Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara
Tasting notes
Look: intense ruby red.
Nose: ripe cherries and sweet spices.
Palate: rich, intense cherries and berry fruit; good length and soft tannins.
Food pairing: Exceptionally versatile. Good with pasta dishes dressed with rich sauces (meat or mushrooms); full-blooded grilled or roast red meat, and game. Ideal with well-aged cheese.

Join us for lunch today at 11am.
So as the weather begins to cool we see more and more of our guest return to one of our classics the little neck clams.

Little Neck Clams:
Shallot, garlic, thyme, and chili are toasted in olive oil, then white wine and butter are added along with clams from Cedar Key, FL. We then cover the pan allowing the clams to steam open in this flavorful broth. The clams are served in a bowl and the mixture is poured over the clams and served with sliced grilled bread from Birmingham Breadworks. @birminghambreadworks

We wanted to express how truly grateful we are for the Birmingham community that has supported us since our opening in the beginning of 2020. We are also truly thankful for our talented staff that work day in and day out since our opening. To allow our staff to spend time with their loved ones we are going to be closed Thanksgiving day (Nov 25th) through the following Monday (Nov 29th). I'm sure we will also catch the iron bowl as well. We wish y’all have a Great Thanksgiving.

We had a blast helping @wineviewapp and @bhamnow test out the new Wine Veiw App. So this app makes wine pairing suggestions based on your personal taste and the food and wine menu of the restaurant your at.

To quote one of our servers. "I was pleasantly suprised to see Wine View App suggest the pairing of the @cadeifrati I Fratt Lugana with our basil pesto gnocchi. It was amazing that the app had pulled our wine list and food menu off our site and suggested this perfect pairing of the gnocchi with a wine that only we can sell in the state."

We are excited to know this new app works at Lé Fresca. Feel free to try it out next time you dine with us.

Do you need a little help getting through the last

Do you need a little help getting through the last few hours of the work week? How about a touch of Italian energy to get you through this chilly autumn day! Let us recommend our espresso. We use a blend of @royalcup Kenyan, Sumatran, and Guatemalan espresso beans. If you are really having a bad day we will be happy to turn that into an espresso martini and we won't tell your boss.
