Features
2012 Cavatappi San Pietro Tuscan Style Red Wine, Columbia Valley 750ml 3-Pack
Cavatappi Wines are inspired by the delicious house wines served in Italy's restaurants. Thirty years ago, winemaker Peter Dow partnered with Washington State's revered growers Mike Sauer, and later with Dick Boushey, to plant Italian varieties. Today these wines, made from Washington-grown Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, continue to be enjoyed alongside great food and company.

The Story: Seattle native Peter Dow had no Italian roots to speak of but he cultivated a passion for the country and its cuisine following a ski trip there in 1972. Upon his return, he spent several years in the restaurant trade before opening his own restaurant, Café Juanita, in 1977. Peter’s concept was simple and reflected his experience of Italian dining – simple recipes made with local ingredients accompanied by well-priced regional wines. To further that notion, Dow wanted to create a “house-wine” – to be made and sold on the premises like those he often enjoyed in small Italian trattorias.
The Wines: Due to the lack of Italian varietals planted in Washington state at the time, Peter not only needed to find cuttings but also develop partnerships with growers to plant the vines. In the Spring of 1984, the same year Café Juanita was bonded as a winery, the first Nebbiolo was planted in Washington state. The first harvest followed three years later. Then, in pursuit of expanding the Sangiovese production, Peter turned to renowned grower Dick Boushey in Yakima Valley.
The name Cavatappi, which means “corkscrew” in Italian, was suggested by an old friend. Peter’s wife Peggy, a graphic designer, created the enduring wine stain for the label and logo.
