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 Barefoot Bubbly Pink Moscato. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 15 dollars per bottle.

Barefoot Bubbly Pink Moscato

Barefoot Bubbly Pink Moscato is sweet & juicy with explosive aromas and flavors. Best served chilled (36-40 degrees F), this bubbly has aromas and flavors of jasmine and Mandarin orange complemented by red raspberry, strawberry and pomegranate. Enjoy the creamy and juicy finish!
