Come warm up today with our spicy house made chili oil. In the more southern Italian tradition we slowly infuse our Tuscan olive oil with our crushed red chili flakes. People often use the chili oil on our pizzas, lunch sandwich and pasta dished like the pappardelle or the spaghetti amatriciana. We also bottle and sell the oil for $25 a bottle. Try some next time you dine with us.

Can you believe we were serving outside in 60° weather yesterday? You know what they say about Alabama weather.

So how do you warm up on a cold rainy winter day? Well we present to you our pork shank.

Pork shank is slowly braised in white wine till it is fall off the bone tender. It's then served over orzotto with finely minced celery, carrots, and onion. We pour the white wine brodo (Italian for braising liquid) back over the shank bring even more flavor to the orzotto and finish the dish with lemon zest and parsley.

Lunch starts today at 11am.

Antinori winery Marchesi Antinori Srl is an Itali

Antinori winery
Marchesi Antinori Srl is an Italian wine company that can trace its history back to 1385. They are one of the biggest wine companies in Italy, and their innovations played a large part in the "Super-Tuscan" revolution of the 1970s. Antinori is a member of the Primum Familiae Vini and the 10th oldest family owned company in the world.

The real revolution came in 1974 with the launch of Tignanello's first vintage, 1971: a barrique-aged wine from the vineyard bearing the same name containing Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Although the initial blend did not yet contain any Cabernet Sauvignon or Cabernet Franc, no white grape varieties were used, which meant that the wine was ineligible for the Chianti Classico appellation; from the vintage 1975 onwards the blend contained Cabernet Sauvignon. Technically Tignanello was not the first 'Super Tuscan' – that honor goes to Sassicaia, created by a relative of the Antinoris, the Marquis Mario Incisa della Rocchetta – even though the Antinoris were experimenting with Cabernet blends since the 1920s. But it was Tignanello that really shook up the Italian wine industry, leading to far-reaching changes in rules and attitudes. However, even though the Chianti Classico DOCG rules have now been changed to accommodate wines such as Tignanello, the Antinoris continue to sell it as a Toscana IGT wine. Emboldened by the success of the 20% Bordeaux blend Tignanello, in 1978 Antinori launched Solaia - containing 80% Cabernet Sauvignon - from the neighboring vineyard.
The two wineries that produce the Antinori wines we sell at Lé Fresca.
• Tignanello - is a 47 hectare vineyard acquired in 1900 and gives its name to Antinori's most famous wine, designated a Vino da Tavola since the mid-1970s and IGT Toscana since the early 1990s. Since 1982, Tignanello has been made from 85% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. The vineyard lies at 1150–1312 feet above sea level, within the Santa Cristina estate (also known as Tenuta Tignanello).
• Pian delle Vigne Estate - Sixty hectares of vineyard in a 186 hectare estate bought in 1995, which provides their Brunello di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalicino.

Join us for lunch today!!

Now here is a dish for a cool and rainy day.

Chicken Cacciatore: Cacciatore means “hunter’s style” in Italian. Here we take Joyce Farms chicken breast that has been pounded to an even thickness, grilled, and placed on top of polenta cake. A sauce consisting of onions, garlic, carrot, and San Marzano style tomatoes are prepared, then set aside. We then take mushrooms and sauteed them with shallot and thyme in white wine. The tomato based sauce is mixed with the mushrooms and white wine before this sauce is poured over the chicken breast to finish our chicken cacciatora.

We are open from 11am-9pm Tuesday through Thursday, 11am-9:30pm Friday and Saturday. Call 205-593-4241 for reservations.
