Vouvray Brut
France | Loire
Made from Chenin Blanc in the Champagne method, this cuvée is the quintessential apéritif sparkling wine. Notes of apple and pear and a fine bead pair perfectly with Loire Valley chèvres, but if you would like to try a cheese from beyond the Loire, consider an aged Comté alongside roasted walnuts.
Prosecco Superiore Brut
Italy | Veneto
I’ve never sipped from a stream running down from the Dolomitic Alps into the foothills of northeastern Italy, but I imagine it would taste as bracing, crisp, and pure as Sommariva’s Prosecco Superiore.
Crémant d’Alsace Brut
France | Alsace
While this Crémant d’Alsace features a blend of grapes that wouldn’t be out of place in Champagne, the soils and climate at Félix Meyer’s disposal yield an entirely distinct Alsatian sparkler with ripe orchard fruit, orange peel, and hints of spice.
2023 Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro
Italy | Emilia-Romagna
Home to some of Italy’s greatest dishes and ingredients—ragù (Bolognese), Parmigiano-Reggiano, and tortellini, to name just a few—Emilia-Romagna is also making a strong case as the capital of Italy’s most festive wine: Lambrusco. If you want to bring something that’s delicious but novel to your next holiday party, look no further than this fully dry, fizzy, brambly red wine.
