Details
Fresh, easy and exactly what it sets out to be. This Italian fizz is light and clean, with notes of apple, pear, honeydew and grapefruit, a gentle floral lift and a faint creamy, nutty quality that adds a little charm. It's slightly off-dry and totally uncomplicated - just a bright, simple frizzante that leaves you reaching for another glass. The definition of a happy quaffer!

Origin: The original sparkling wines were made in a place called Limoux in southern France. Mainly Grown In: These days, the whole world sparkles - these styles are made anywhere and everywhere, from a range of grape varieties. Key Facts: Champagne gets all the attention, but there's so much more to the world of sparkling than that. In fact, there are four main methods of production for sparkling wine, each producing slightly different styles and flavours. What is common across all of them however is really focussed, tangy acidity (due mostly to harvesting the grapes early - the acidity is needed to keep the sparkling wine fresh) and an elegant fruit profile. Main flavours often include various citrus fruits, crunchy green apple and hints of honey or biscuit. At the end of the day though, it's about those bubbles and the refreshment factor! Fun Fact: The largest producer of sparkling wine in the world is Italy, followed by France and Spain.

Pairing guide
Light, fizzy and a hint of sweetness, this is a brilliant aperitivo wine and a natural at the start of any meal. It loves a simple spread of olives, breadsticks and soft cheese, or a light prosciutto and melon plate. The bright acidity and gentle bubbles are a great match for fried food - think arancini, courgette fritters or a classic caprese with really good tomatoes. For a vegan option, try it alongside a chilled watermelon and mint salad with a squeeze of lime and a pinch of chilli. Keep it cold, keep it casual, keep it flowing!
