Delicate and gentle Brut – Santa Margherita Prosecco Brut

By sowiwi | July 16, 2014

Santa Margherita Prosecco Brut –

Type: Glera / Prosecco
Region: Valdobbiadene DOC, Italy
Year: N/V
Price range: $$ ($15 – $30)

Sometimes the delicate and gentle things get our attention. A delicate Brut would get my attention and this Santa Margherita Prosecco Brut commanded our attention. The mild sweetness contained in this semi dry sparkling wine has a well rounded body that is very enjoyable. The fruit flavor profiles are feathery and can almost go unnoticeable in the lively array of bubbles if you don’t pay attention, but as I said before, you will pay attention to this Santa Margherita Prosecco Brut because this delicate beauty deserves 100% once released. Enjoy my friends!

Brut from Argentina – Hom Extra Brut

By sowiwi | July 16, 2014

Hom Extra Brut –

Type: Chardonnay 70%, Chenin 30% / Sparkling White
Region: Mendoza, Argentina
Year: N/V
Price range: $ (Less < $15)

I can’t say enough about this sparkling wine. If I was forced to drink this everyday I wouldn’t be terribly upset. Significantly better than Korbel and not significantly more expensive. The combination of mostly Chardonnay and Chenin make for a nicely balanced flavor. You get the slight lemon and a hint of apple flavor that are just perfect bubbles on the palate. You don’t need a special occasion to celebrate and go out to buy this sparkling wine.

Riondo Prosecco Spago Nero, Veneto, Italy

Light body and crisp! It offers very light melon and lime notes and refreshing finish. It has enough sweetness but dry enough to cut acidity. Very nice Prosecco. I found this at Costco for $10!!! I love it.
