Sparkling wine | Italy
Let me introduce you to the delightful Gran Cuvée Demisec Millesimato from Cantine Collarin, an Italian sparkling wine that promises a touch of sweetness and a burst of refreshing flavors. Hailing from Italy, this sparkler is crafted by Cantine Collarin, a winery known for its dedication to quality and tradition. While the specific grape varieties used in this cuvée are a well-kept secret, it's evident that a blend of carefully selected white grapes contributes to its unique character.
This demisec (or "semi-dry") sparkling wine offers a charming balance between sweetness and acidity, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate a touch of indulgence without being overwhelmed. Its effervescence dances on the palate, releasing a symphony of fruity and floral notes that leave you wanting more.
Imagine golden apples, ripe pears, and succulent peaches mingling with delicate honeysuckle and acacia blossoms. Perhaps you will sense a hint of brioche as well, as it is a classic note for a sparkling wine with second fermentation on bottle. This delightful combination creates a harmonious taste profile that is both refreshing and satisfying.
With its moderate alcohol content of 11%, the Gran Cuvée Demisec Millesimato is perfect for enjoying as an aperitif or pairing with a variety of dishes. Its touch of sweetness makes it a wonderful complement to fruit-based desserts, creamy cheeses, and even slightly spicy Asian cuisine. For example, try this with some spring rolls, or some white fish. For desserts, maybe some peaches with mascarpone.
Cantine Collarin, the producer of this delightful sparkling wine, is located in Veneto. The winery is a family-run business that has been producing wines for generations. They are committed to sustainable winemaking practices, and they use only the finest grapes in their wines.
To fully appreciate the Gran Cuvée Demisec Millesimato, serve it chilled at around 6°C. This will enhance its refreshing qualities and allow the aromas to fully express themselves. No need to let it rest before pouring, as it is ready to be enjoyed immediately. It is bottled in a traditional sparkling wine bottle, sealed with a cork to preserve its effervescence.
With an estimated price of around €10.90, the Gran Cuvée Demisec Millesimato offers exceptional value for its quality and taste. It's a fantastic choice for adding a touch of sparkle to any occasion or simply enjoying a moment of pure pleasure.
So, uncork a bottle of Gran Cuvée Demisec Millesimato, and let the celebration begin! Cheers!
