Altura is an Italian restaurant. We spend much time researching and sourcing the finest Italian ingredients, wines, and spirits to present to each of our guests. We also save some of our efforts to showcase high quality products regardless of origin. This means Guy Kugel works hard to secure wines like the Signature Cuvee from Cristom, a classic Oregon winery, and it means Nathan Lockwood sampled foie gras from three different farms before settling on Rougie.
In my corner of things, I have found gems that represent some of the finest unique spirits from across the world.
Calvados
In this case, I’d like to talk a little about Calvados.
