Costa Farnel Valdobbiadene Prosecco ‘Superiore Extra Dry’ Non vintage
DOCG Valdobbiadene $24.95 11.0% alcohol
Ethereal, almost transparent, this airy sparkling wine is showing traces of mineral, subtle notions of pear, stone fruit and clean citrus notes. Fresh on the attack, it matches a satiny texture to the lively, decisive spine of acidity. It finishes long, tangy, yet sweetly fruity. (Susan Desjardins)
Costa Farnel Prosecco Non vintage
DOC Prosecco $20.50 11.5% alcohol
Pale straw, characterized by a fine, persistent, mouth-filling mousse, this is a refined wine, offering sweet fruit, citrus and floral aromas. Creamy, with a lively refreshing texture, the tasty flavours of peach, lime and orange ride a fine seam of clean acidity to a delicious fruit-filled finish—and the mousse still lingers! Sip for the pleasure. (Susan Desjardins)
Costa Farnel Fior ‘d’Arancio’ Spumante Dolce Non vintage
DOC Colli Euganei $19.95 6.0% alcohol
Characterized by concentrated aromas and flavours, this wine is for those who desire an intensely sweet and fruity treat. Aromas of orange blossom, marmalade, candied fruit and citrus zest burst from the glass. Creamy with an almost honeyed texture, flavours of candied orange and lemon pie filling mingle on the palate carried to the finish by the fine persistent effervescence. Serve with sponge cake and fresh fruit. (Susan Desjardins)
La Canosa Spumante Brut Non vintage
Italy $21.50 12.0% alcohol
This sparkler splashes into the glass with an ephemeral flourish. Showcasing floral aromas, tangy apple, pear and a whiff of citrus, it’s dry and crisp on the palate, grapefruit, lemon, green apple and mineral flavours carrying through the mid-length finish. It’s a party starter. (Susan Desjardins)
La Canosa Spumante Brut Rosé Non vintage
Italy $21.50 12.0% alcohol
Blood orange and stewed plum on the nose, this Sangiovese-based, spritzy rosé races across the palate with red cherry/berry fruit and racy acidity. It’s tangy and juicy on the finish with red grapefruit and sour cherry keeping it crisp and refreshing. (Vic Harradine)
Kuehn Riesling ‘Grand Cru Kaefferkopf’ 2010
AOC Alsace $21.50 12.5% alcohol
Pale gold, this wine displays subtle floral and mineral aromas, notes of pear, lime zest and a whiff of pithy citrus. Dry, mid-weight, a touch of orchard fruit is followed by an explosion of white grapefruit and fresh lemon, framed by racy acidity and underlying mineral notes that persist through a lengthy, mouth-cleansing finish. Serve now with fish, Coquille St-Jacques, or let the wine evolve over 5-7 years. (Susan Desjardins)
La Canosa ‘Nullius’ Rosso 2009
IGT Marche $24.95 13.5% alcohol
This 100% Sangiovese opens with intriguing dusty notes, dark fruit, cocoa and spiced vanilla tantalizing the nose. On the palate, there’s great balance of fine-grained tannins, fresh acidity and ripe, spiced red fruit—a touch of mocha and a hint of leather add complexity. Dry, medium-full bodied, the wine presents a satin-like texture and a lively clean finish. Serve with meat-based pasta dishes. (Susan Desjardins)
