Antipasti works really well with Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé. 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 Nomine Renard Brut. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 50 dollars.
