Alvento Winery

IN THIS MONTH’S THREE-PACK:

A gift of exceptional value from Beamsville’s Alvento Winery; a traditional method sparkling, appassimento-style cabernet sauvignon and beautifully aged nebbiolo. 

2018 Celeste
VQA Niagara Peninsula
$45.95

A delicate, focused traditional method sparkler that features chardonnay with a dash of pinot noir. Citrus, stone fruit and minerality emerge on the nose and palate. Bone dry with a fine mousse, this bubbly is made for cocktail foods and salty snacks.   

2018 Boreas
VQA Niagara Peninsula
$47.95

A bold blend of two cabernet sauvignons; one a concentrated appassimento-style and the second traditionally produced. The result is a luscious, jammy wine with abundant black fruit, mint, tobacco and spice. The perfect partner to ribeye steak with horseradish. 

2012 Aria
VQA Niagara Peninsula
$56.95

Aptly named, this wine is sophisticated and elegant with a long finish – and 100% nebbiolo, an Italian grape rarely found in these parts. It’s structured and complex with refined flavours of fig, earth and anise that will mesh beautifully with apple-braised pork shanks.
