Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Chianti, Verdicchio, Sparkling Rose, Trebbiano

Sparkling Wine, Chianti, and Verdicchio are my top picks for Crostini. 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 Taittinger Taittinger Collection by Sebastiao Salgado with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 320 dollars per bottle.

Taittinger Taittinger Collection by Sebastiao Salgado

Beautifully intense floral aromas, with traces of honeysuckle,generous raisins, hot, honeyed fruits and greengage plums. Fresh, unctuous and supple flavors help the wine's balance andrichness.Made from selected Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes grown in the finest microclimates in Champagne. Chardonnay is harvested from Grand Cru of Côte des Blancs and Pinot Noir comes from Grand Crus of Montagne de Reims and edge of Vallée de la Marne.Following harvest, grapes are pressed immediately in press houses in the vineyards. First pressing is only juice used for this wine. Blending is after primary fermentation, final cuvée completes secondary fermentation in bottle in Taittinger's cool cellars.About Sebastião SalgadoSebastião Salgado was born in 1944 in Aimorés, Brazil. Growing up in a family of eight children on his parents' farm, he became fascinated by the natural world around him, from taking walks in the forest, looking from the hilltops and listening to the trainsthat transported the local minerals. After studying economics in school, Sebastião decided to change careers and become a photographer, focusing on his love of nature. Sebastião Salgado’s photographs express human and environmental tragedies, and yethe always manages to find extraordinary beauty, thereby offering a glimmer of hope. His work focuses on the biodiversity of the planet, highlighting that which has not been transformed by human beings. The photograph chosen for Taittinger Collection is a statement of what is most universal and original: Life, simple and peaceful.
