| La Cantinetta Wine Bar in Florence
:. 5% Discount for students! |
La
Cantinetta Wine Shop
Via dell'Anguillara 48 Firenze
Ph. 055 2654272 - Fax 055 2729940
E-mail: lacantinettadiviola@libero.it
Open from Monday to Saturday
Opening hours 10a m to8 pm
If you have a wine desire of any specification,
make your way to La Cantinetta,
a haven located centrally between Piazza
della Signoria and Santa Croce.
This vino mecca extends not
only 5% discount to students (!) but charming
and helpful suggestions from the shops'
young and cosmopolitan owner, Viola.
Tuscan by birth, Viola has realised her dream
of owning a wine boutique and
drawing on her extensive travel experience, she
keeps her place well stocked with something to
whet every pallet.
The delicious tipples hail from
regions dispersed all over Italia,
yet especially from homeland Toscana.
With bottles to suit every budget ranging from €7- €350, La
Cantinetta is the ideal destination to
purchase a cheap, cheerful and pre-chilled
bottle of white to accompany a dinner
party or for visiting parents to pick up a special
souvenir Super Tuscan vintage.
Not
a wine fan? You're in the wrong country
for starters, but also fortunate in that Viola
sells typical Italian intoxicating liquors such
as Grappa and Limoncello and
a whole host of other things besides. As of October
2006, tasting afternoons will commence
and will provide the perfect opportunity to indulge
in the gastronomic treats also available to buy;
speciality pastas and the like,
all sourced locally. Just remember to grab the
chance to wash it down with a glassful of liquid
heaven.
Whatever you want, Viola will
try to accommodate your every need. If you can't
find what you're looking for, ask! She can source
specific wines for individuals, and can also ship
abroad if you don't want the hassle of
lugging around heavy bottles at the airport.
La Cantinetta is a rare gem-welcoming,
friendly and of high quality. A real cork'er (pardon
the pun)
La Cantinetta and Viola are ready and
waiting for you to sample the dolce vita every
day except Sunday between the hours of 10:00-
20:00.
