Details
This gently sparkling frizzante from Cevico's Cantine Ronco estate is such an easy-sipper. We particularly love that attractive lemon and pear character from top to bottom. Dangerously drinkable with, or without food!
Origin: The original sparkling wines were made in a place called Limoux in southern France. Mainly Grown In: These days, the whole world sparkles - these styles are made anywhere and everywhere, from a range of grape varieties. Key Facts: Champagne gets all the attention, but there's so much more to the world of sparkling than that. In fact, there are four main methods of production for sparkling wine, each producing slightly different styles and flavours. What is common across all of them however is really focussed, tangy acidity (due mostly to harvesting the grapes early - the acidity is needed to keep the sparkling wine fresh) and an elegant fruit profile. Main flavours often include various citrus fruits, crunchy green apples, and hints of honey or biscuit. At the end of the day though, it's about those bubbles and the refreshment factor! Fun Fact: Sparkling wine can be made in many ways - Traditional Method, Tank (Charmat) Method, or Ancestral Method. The biggest difference is the quality of the bubbles (referred to as the 'bead' or 'mousse').

Pairing guide
When the sun is shining and friends are gathered, few bottles hit the spot quite like a beautiful Italian sparkler. This elegant and characterful wine is about as food friendly as they come, but we especially enjoyed it with antipasti featuring seafood, marinated vegetables and treats like capers, olives, soft cheese and anchovy. It’s also going to be excellent with vegetarian bruschetta, creamy pasta dishes and garlic and chilli prawns.

Wine region

Emilia-Romagna, Italy
Emilia-Romagna has to be one of the most important food regions in the world as the home of Parmigiano Reggiano and Balsamic Vinegar as well as Ragu or as we know it Spaghetti Bolognese. Aside from the amazing food, there is also some really decent wine to go with it! Known for producing delicious red wines like Lambrusco and Pignoletto as well as Sangiovese as well as white wines like Albana, this region has a unique climate that allows grapes to ripen perfectly. So when you next head to Bologna, make sure you enjoy all of the local produce!
