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 Viva Diva Moscato Colada. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 11 dollars per bottle.

Viva Diva Moscato Colada

Sweet Moscato wine infused with natural coconut & pineapple flavor. Light orange in color. Fruity, typical of coconut & pineapple with light hints of Moscato. Excellent as an aperitif or mixing with cocktails.
