Cornelia Tessari's Avus Garganega Frizzante is a delightful sparkling wine hailing from the Veneto region of Italy, where the Garganega grape thrives under the Italian sun. The Tessari family's dedication to sustainable viticulture and traditional winemaking techniques shines through in this exceptional wine. It is the perfect embodiment of the Veneto terroir, with its unique combination of limestone and volcanic soils, lending a distinct mineral quality to the grapes.
This Frizzante style means it has a gentle fizz, making it incredibly approachable and versatile. The Avus presents a pale straw color in the glass, releasing a bouquet of delicate aromas, think of fresh green apple, lemon zest, and white blossoms. On the palate, it is dry and crisp, with a vibrant acidity that balances the subtle fruitiness. Hints of almond and a saline minerality linger on the finish, making it a refreshing and invigorating choice.
Why should you choose Avus? It’s not just a wine, it's an experience. It's the taste of the Italian countryside, bottled with care and passion. Perfect as an aperitif, it also pairs wonderfully with light dishes such as seafood risotto, grilled vegetables, or fresh salads. For a truly authentic pairing, try it with the region's famed asparagus dishes or delicate seafood pasta. It is also an exceptional partner to soft cheeses and is a great wine to have with antipasti.
This wine is designed to be enjoyed young and fresh, preferably within a couple of years of its vintage. Chill it well to around 8°C and serve it in a tulip-shaped glass to best capture its aromas and effervescence. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply unwinding after a long day, Cornelia Tessari's Avus Garganega Frizzante is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that will transport you to the sun-drenched vineyards of Veneto with every sip.
