Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Chianti, Verdicchio, Sparkling Rose, Trebbiano

Crostini works really well with Sparkling Wine, Chianti, and Verdicchio. 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 Ruinart Brut rosé ( half-bottle) with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 56 dollars per bottle.

Ruinart Brut Rose ( half-bottle)

*There was a packaging change on this wine. The label pictured may not be the label received.*The wine is a brilliant orange-yellow rose petal colour with a very fine, profuse and sustained mousse. The nose is characterized by small red berries, mainly currant. On the palate the wine is vigorous and well balanced. A fine, fresh, fruity wine with well-integrated tannins and a hint of spice on the lengthy finish.Ruinart Rosé is produced from a blend of 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay from the best of recent vintages. All of the fruit is from premiers crus vineyards. Grapes from the estate vineyards in Sillery and Brimont (ancestral home of the Ruinart family) are joined by carefully selected grapes from other premiers crus vineyards in the Côte de Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. The grapes for Ruinart are selected basket by basket at the source, and only the finest premiers crus are used.
