Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Sparkling Rose

Antipasti works really well with Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. The Ruffino Prosecco Made with Organic Grapes with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 22 dollars per bottle.

The bouquet is fragrant and bursting with fruit notes. It has clean aromas of apples, pears, and citrus, accompanied by hints of wisteria. Crisp, clean, and delicate with fine bubbles on the palate. Intense flavors of apple and peach lead to a pleasant finish with lingering fruit and floral notes.
