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 Larmandier-Bernier Latitude Extra Brut. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 55 dollars per bottle.
