By Marina La Forgia Icon of the Italian bubbles, the Prosecco continue to gain followers in the world and Quebec is not the exception. A new sparkling wine from the great wine house Genagricola has arrived at the SAQ gondolas with a name that is easy to remember, V8 +. They say that eight minutes is what it takes the sunlight to reach the Earth and the "eight" is also the number that symbolizes infinity ... now it is also the trademark of a new sparkling wine! Made 100% with the traditional Glera grape, this Prosecco DOC Brut and Millesimato is a deliciously fresh and fruity wine, with pleasant notes of green apple, pear and peach. On the palate, this young sparkling wine stands out for its slightly mineral character, not so easy to find in the more traditional Prosecco. A wine of excellent price quality ratio, very easy drinking and with an original label and bottles. In the price point of less than 20 canadian dollars is the ideal “party” ally. (MLF)
From argentine
producer Santa Julia arrives in the Quebec market a new wine that fortunately in
my opinion helps to open the door for discovering new flavors and varieties of
Mendoza. The grape Chardonnay, the star of the whites in the world, also has a very special terroir in the Uco
Valley. This mineral and refreshing white wine, pleasantly surprised me by its
delicate aromas of apple, jasmine and peach, and a slight but consistent structure
in the mouth. With only 6 months in oak barrels, the wine preserves its fruity
character and some flavors that remind me of the stony and alluvial soil so
characteristic of the region. A delicious wine perfect for uncorking any of
these summer evenings while it rests in the SAQ stores! (Marina La Forgia)
