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. One wine you could try is Raventos i Blanc de la Finca Brut. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 39 dollars.

Raventos i Blanc de la Finca Brut

De la Finca sparkling wine is made with grapes from Raventos i Blanc's oldest vines, planted using the gobelet system in 1964 in the Vinya dels Fòssils.Situated on the highest terraces of the River Anoia, the Vinya dels Fòssils vineyard has marine soils with a high fossil content. This characterises the structure and the soil composition of this vineyard. The carbonates are the component that provides the main source of typicity to this sparkling wine with a high saline expression. It is a sparkling wine with a unique identity and personality.
