Sparkling Wine

Emma Lambrusco di Sorbara, Emilia-Romagna D.O.C., Italy: Bright strawberry and sour-cherry aromas mingle with zesty lemon-pith lift, flowing into a medium-bubbled palate of juicy red fruits and a lively, crisp close. A great pairing for pizza Margherita or prosciutto-and-melon skewers. Food pairings: charcuterie, cocktails, margherita pizza. Drink: 2025 - 2027 45899 8.5% MS 750 mL $17.95 Score: 91/100. October 2025. Best Value Sparkling Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart

White Wine

Donnafugata Anthìlia Bianco 2022, Sicily D.O.C., Italy: From the Sicily wine region, Donnafugata Anthìlia Bianco 2022 is a zesty, medium-bodied white wine blend of mostly Catarratto with other local grape varieties added to the mix. Grapes are sustainably grown and this vintage is showing tropical fruit, ripe peach, honeyed nut and stony mineral flavours balanced with racy acidity on the palate. So fresh and good now, enjoy it chilled with seared swordfish steaks or a Cesar salad. Bianco food pairings: grilled pork tenderloin, roast chicken, green salads topped with mango and mandarin slices. Drink: 2025 - 2026 195115 12.3% D 750 mL $20.95 Score: 91/100. October 2025. Best Value White Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
