Sparkling wine | Piedmont, Italy
Let me introduce you to the delightful Capetta Cuvée Brut, a sparkling wine that embodies the essence of Italian festivity and elegance. This isn't just another bottle; it's an invitation to celebrate life's everyday moments with a touch of sparkle.
Hailing from the renowned Piedmont region of Italy, Capetta winery has a rich history of crafting exceptional sparkling wines. With generations of expertise, they've perfected the art of selecting the finest grapes to create a Cuvée that is both refreshing and memorable. The wine is a blend of grapes, carefully selected for their individual characteristics, resulting in a harmonious and balanced profile.
The Capetta Cuvée Brut is characterized by its lively bubbles and a pale straw-yellow color that dances in the glass. As you bring the glass to your nose, you'll be greeted by a bouquet of aromas, a symphony of white flowers, crisp green apple, and a hint of citrus. On the palate, it's a refreshing explosion of flavors – think pear, lemon zest, and a subtle note of almond. The bubbles tickle your tongue, providing a delightful texture that makes every sip a celebration.
This wine is classified as 'Brut,' which means it's dry, but don't let that fool you. While it doesn't have noticeable sweetness, the ripe fruit flavors provide a sense of lusciousness that makes it incredibly drinkable. It’s a versatile wine, perfect as an aperitif to kick off a meal, or to pair with a variety of dishes. Consider pairing it with light appetizers like bruschetta, fresh salads with vinaigrette, or seafood dishes such as grilled shrimp or oysters on the half shell. Its crisp acidity cuts through rich, creamy dishes, making it an excellent partner for risotto or even fried calamari. For a less traditional pairing, try it with spicy Asian cuisine; the wine's refreshing character will tame the heat and cleanse the palate.
With an alcohol content of 11.5%, it’s light enough to enjoy without feeling weighed down, making it the perfect choice for daytime celebrations or relaxed evenings with friends. For the best experience, serve the Capetta Cuvée Brut chilled, ideally between 6-8°C. This will enhance its refreshing qualities and allow the subtle flavors to truly shine.
This sparkling wine comes in a traditional bottle, sealed with a cork to maintain its effervescence. It's a classic touch that adds to the sense of occasion when you pop the cork. Priced around €7, it’s an affordable luxury that makes every day feel a bit more special.
Choose Capetta Cuvée Brut not just for its taste, but for the experience it delivers. It’s a taste of Italian sunshine, bottled and ready to brighten your day. Whether you're celebrating a milestone or simply enjoying the company of loved ones, this sparkling wine is sure to add a touch of magic to any occasion.
