Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Sparkling Rose

Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Antipasti. 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. You could try Ruffino Prosecco Made with Organic Grapes. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 22 dollars per bottle.

Ruffino Prosecco Made with Organic Grapes

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.
