Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Sparkling Rose

Antipasti can be paired with Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these.

Weinert Cavas de Weinert
Weinert Cavas de Weinert
Deep ruby tone with purple sparkles springs up its stable and vigorous structure. Its tannic richness guarantees its longevity, but discreet ripe fruit prevails. A balanced full-bodied wine that has reminiscente fragrantes of oak on the long finish. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot.
