Linda will be tasting some of the favorite wines from Veneto, Sardinia and Tuscany!

Voga Prosecco STILL WINE – 95% Glera, 5% Sauvignon Blanc. Prosecco Still presents the main characteristics of Glera grape with pleasant floral and fruity aromas. The still version has a smoother and creamier texture, which allows to focus more on the grape's natural characteristics. Its refreshing acidity contributes to its overall drinkability and makes it a popular choice as an aperitif or a wine to enjoy on its own.

Scaia Garganega/Chardonnay – 55% Garganega, 45% Chardonnay. Aromas of white flowers of acacia, jasmine, bouquet of citrus such as pineapple, grapefruit and orange, apple, pear and mango and a light note of bananas. Flavor is fresh and pleasant thanks to its sustained acidity.

Cantina Santa Maria La Palma Aragosta Rose Brut – Mixed red grapes. It has a soft pink color, delicate scent of wild strawberries and cherries, savory and saline flavor. Excellent as an aperitif ideal for all dishes based on fish, shellfish, molluscs. A companion for lunches, dinners, aperitifs and toasts with family and friends.

Castellani Chianti Classico Reserva – 100% Sangiovese. Deep ruby red. Rich with notes of cherries, plums, and iris. Deep cherry and leather flavors with subtle wood notes. Supple tannins, good acidity, and a lingering finish. Perfect with flavorful roasts, pastas, and cheeses.
