Spumante

[bobg]

Can you buy spumante here? Or better yet something local which is very similar?

Thanks, Bob

Many wineries in Mendoza and San Juan make bubblies. Some are very good. You can buy them everywhere.

supermarkets, chinos, wine stores, just look for " espumante"

Careful though.If you are looking for something like "Asti Spumante"you need to look for demi sec,if you want something less sweet = brut and if you like dry = extra brut.

Hi Aleina, Thanks. I was hoping to find true, imported, Spumante. Not for true wine lovers I know, but very accessible for people who are not true wine lovers. Or at least a good substitute. I've seen a major brand here in many levels of "secness". I'll give the demi sec a shot.

Thanks, Bob

Nothing like a good Spumante with dessert. Local Bianchi Strodivarius ranked among the top ten Spumante in the world El Extrabut Cabernet Sauvigno 1998 can be purchased for $290. Produced by the Champenoise method from France.
