Sparkling wine | Veneto, Italy
Discover the vibrant elegance of Contarini Blanc de Blancs Millesimato Extra Dry, a sophisticated sparkling wine hailing from the prestigious Prosecco hills of the Veneto region. Produced by Contarini Vini, a winery with roots dating back to 1957 in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Prosecco territory, this wine represents a perfect harmony between traditional winemaking and modern finesse.
Crafted from a curated blend of white grape varieties—primarily Glera, enriched with Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Grigio—this Blanc de Blancs is characterized by its light straw-yellow hue and a fine, persistent perlage that dances gracefully in the glass. On the nose, it offers an elegant and refined bouquet, evocative of delicate white flowers such as acacia, elderflower, and chamomile, followed by subtle, refreshing undertones of green apple and citrus zest.
On the palate, you will experience a beautifully balanced profile. The 'Extra Dry' classification provides a gentle, rounded sweetness that perfectly offsets the wine's vibrant acidity, resulting in a fresh and delicately textured mouthfeel marked by a distinct, pleasant minerality. The mousse is soft and creamy, carrying crisp flavors of white peach and citrus that linger into a clean, refreshing finish.
This versatile sparkling wine is an exceptional choice for any occasion. It excels as an sophisticated aperitif to welcome guests, but it truly shines when paired with food. Its crisp acidity and floral aromatic profile make it a heavenly match for light summer dishes, such as salads with citrus-based vinaigrettes, delicate seafood starters, sushi, or light fish-based risottos. Whether you are celebrating a special milestone or simply elevating a casual dinner, Contarini Blanc de Blancs brings a touch of Italian luxury to your table. Experience the joy of the Veneto lifestyle with every sip of this expertly crafted, crowd-pleasing bubbly.
