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. The Weinert Cavas de Weinert with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 26 dollars per bottle.

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.
