Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. The Raventos i Blanc de la Finca Brut with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 39 dollars per bottle.

This characterises the structure and the soil composition of this vineyard. The carbonates are the component that provides the main source of typicity to this sparkling wine with a high saline expression. It is a sparkling wine with a unique identity and personality.
