The Tosti Butterfly Demi-Sec is a vibrant and inviting sparkling wine from the renowned Tosti1820 winery, a family-run estate with over 200 years of history in the heart of Piedmont’s hills. This charming sparkler is crafted from a traditional blend of aromatic Moscato and Trebbiano grapes, resulting in a beautifully balanced, semi-sweet profile that is both accessible and sophisticated.
In the glass, it glows with a light straw-yellow hue, animated by a persistent and elegant perlage—as light and graceful as the butterfly that graces its label. On the nose, it offers a fresh, fragrant bouquet reminiscent of ripe pears, succulent white peaches, delicate floral notes, and a hint of gooseberries. The palate is equally delightful, featuring a harmonious sweetness that is perfectly tempered by refreshing acidity, leaving a smooth, creamy finish with lovely aromatic undertones.
With its lower alcohol content of 7.5%, this wine is the ultimate 'social' bottle, making it an excellent choice for casual gatherings and festive toasts alike. Its versatility is truly impressive; the subtle sweetness provides a wonderful counterpoint to spicy foods, cutting through heat with ease, while its fruity character makes it a stellar partner for salads topped with salty ingredients like feta or crispy bacon. It also shines when paired with desserts, especially fruit-based treats, fresh berries, or fragrant pastries. Whether you are hosting a summer garden party or looking for a light, joyous sparkler to enjoy with friends, the Tosti Butterfly Demi-Sec brings a touch of Italian elegance and effortless fun to every occasion. Best served well-chilled to accentuate its crispness and vibrant fruit aromatics.
