Alcohol Highlights:
(Not available in all locations.)
- Barone Montalto Passivento Rosso, see price in store. 3 L, from Italy. Aldi states: “A full bodied red blend with jammy notes of caramel, vanilla, red fruits, and figs. Soft tannins with a long finish. Perfect companion to many meat dishes, pasta and for any festive occasion.”
- Bergeron Estates Ice Wine, see price in store. 375 mL, from Canada. Aldi says: “Harvested during the cold winters of Ontario, Canada, this rich dessert wine is pressed and squeezed while the grapes are still frozen solid. The end result, a rich velvety icewine with bright notes of peach, lemon and toffee. Drink now and enjoy bright fruit notes with nice acidity or let age and enjoy a smoother taste with more subtle tones of flavors. Pairs with flavorful desserts.”
- Exquisite Collection Pinot Grigio, see price in store. 750 mL, from Italy. Aldi says: “Straw yellow with notes of apples, pear and lemon. Pairs exceptionally well with light, fresh appetizers, grilled chicken and roasted fish.”
- Giotti Prosecco Extra Dry, see price in store. 3 L, from Italy. Aldi says: “Fresh and pleasant on the palate with notes of apple and peach and a lively bubble. Perfect for holiday toasts or alongside ripe cheese, lemon based desserts and seafood dishes.”
- In the Pink Pink Moscato, see price in store. 1.5 L, from South Africa. Aldi says: “Aromas and flavors of strawberry, tropical fruit and melon lead to a sweet, refreshing finish. Enjoy as an aperitif, with fruit salads, desserts or on its own with friends.”
- Ponte Villoni Zinfandel Mini Wine Cellar, see price in store. 750 mL, from France. Aldi says: “Aromas of red berries and a hint of herbs lead into a fruity palate with soft tannis and a harmonious finish. Pair with red meat, eggplant, pasta with red sauce, grilled vegetables, and mature cheeses. This Zinfandel comes in a wooden box that converts into a mini wine cellar.”
