We’re excited to share that Doladira has officially landed at S*M Selections!!

Doladira is a rhubarb aperitivo from the Italian Alps, made with plum, gentian, elderflower, pine, and a touch of rosemary. It’s fresh, herbaceous, and beautifully balanced — bitter, bright, and just a little savory. The vibrant pink color comes naturally from rhubarb and black carrot, with no artificial additives.

🥕 Naturally red from rhubarb & black carrot
🍃 All-natural alpine ingredients
✨ 60% less sugar than other leading aperitivi
🧊 Great on the rocks or in a spritz

A true taste of the Alps, bottled in Burgundy, and now available through us. We’re proud to represent in Colorado.

Salute! 🥂

One of our favorite features of great Italian restaurants is the Amaro Cart. Rolling up to your table after a fabulous meal to offer one last temptation to cap the night, a bevy of unique herbal concoctions to settle the stomach and reinvigorate an inquisitive palate. And now we find ourselves living the dream of having our own version of the Amaro Cart, with over a dozen examples of digestivi from all over Italy! Rumbling through the dining room of Colorado. Call the cart over to your table, pick a few to try, and reawaken your palate and its delight in the flavors of the Italian wilds!

Since the 1980s, Malabaila has blended tradition and innovation—aging wines in castle cellars, later moving to a modern underground winery built into a hillside for perfect conditions. Today, Lucrezia and Valerio Falletti carry on that vision with low-impact farming across Roero’s fossil-rich sandy soils, crafting Arneis, Nebbiolo, Barbera, and more.
